Grad school is a huge decision that should not be made lightly. Many students find themselves going to grad school for the wrong reasons and end up swallowed in debt. The above points of consideration are widely recognized as being the most important things to consider. Can you afford it, do you have time for it, and is it worth it? This is in no way biased or intended to be negative. It does not say “don’t go to grad school” and it does not say “go to grad school.” These are just things that you need to consider. If you want to go to grad school and have the money, time, and willpower, then by all means, go for it.

Additionally, this article is the first of many that will take place in this column. Upcoming articles will feature how-to advice for writing letters of interest and filling out applications, as well as how to narrow down your choices for potential grad school education. Again, these will not be pro- or anti-grad school. They will simply be informational.
