After I have earned a college degree, I considered going to a grad school. But since i know how costly it is to provide for my own tuition, I looked for work. And for sometime, I haven't thought about the grad study until lately when my work starts to bore me.
Have you entered a grad school? How long did you thought about it? What did you take into consideration? What are your specific studies and career goals? Did earning a second degree advances your career?
I might pick up some helpful hints from members of myLot. Thanks in advance.

Hello,phjal2808.
I think it's necessary to enter grad study.As college students increasing year by year,it's more and more difficult for us to gain ideal employment.
I just graduated from my unniversity one year ago,but i have changed three jobs.do you belive? I regreted that i didn't get a instruction from my teacher or grad school.If that ,i wouldn't have so devious roads.
You said that it was costly.You are able to concider about getting some useful employment information from your teachers or your college's employment direction center.
Guck luck to you.Hope you to find your correct direction of emplyment as soon as possible.

hELLO! I also wanted to enter into a grad school soon...
Yeah, I know, it is really very costly nowadays but if you really have the desire, dream, ambition and the passion, then, I think, one can find a way to pursue it. It may not be that easy to send yourself to a grad school (except if you are financially fortunate) but, in the long run, I think, you will really be benefited by it. Aside from the fact that you will increase your life's worth, (hopefully, a lot of new opportunities will be opened to you!) you will also continuously learn from the field you wanted to specialize.. However, we must just see to it that that is what we really wanted..Or else, it may be a time and efforts wasted for us..
God bless..

Yes, there are lots of college graduate nowadays and competition is getting hard to get a job. I think a second degree will give one an edge.

I know where you're coming from. I am also not from a well-off family. But I really want to pursue further studies. So I guess I have to work harder for my tuition and earn a living for my family. I hope we can both enter grad school. Good luck to both of us.
