Not immediately going to Graduate School
Option 1a
On a job hunt to compensate for four years of loans or want to ease the financial burden of graduate school
Snag an internship in the field of your discipline.
You learn about programs where your company can pay or supplement your grad school tuition and begin applying when you’re ready.
You’re loving the prestige of your current occupation, but, you long for something more and apply for grad school.
Option 1b
On a job hunt to compensate for four years of loans or want to ease the financial burden of graduate school.
Working at In-N-Out, but at least your workplace smells like a 4×4 #animalstyle
Up for a promotion and you’re content with the workplace, so you decide to stick around a little longer –accumulating savings—before applying to schools
You begin applying to grad school on your own with nobody’s help because you’re a grown-up
Option 2a
Still young, not tied down, so you travel to the Grand Canyon, visit the Statue of Liberty, enjoy crêpes in Paris, hone your photography skills in Rome
Search for employment after lollygagging around the world like the privileged child of a plastic surgeon
Not having luck finding a job, so you decide to go back to school earlier than you conceived to wait out the stagnant economy.
Option 2b
Still young, not tied down, so you travel to the Grand Canyon, visit the Statue of Liberty, enjoy crêpes in Paris, hone your photography skills in Rome
You apply to graduate school after your enlightening adventures splitting sandwiches with European vagabonds.
You hopefully find an occupation in your discipline, maybe an internship, or just anything stable in this economic climate would be nice.
Going to grad school, but how should you spend your time before then?
Option A
Money is not a problem
You fly out to Universal Studios Orlando, Florida to check out the new Harry Potter ride, sip some butterbeer, and pick out your own wand (made of holly and a phoenix feather core, duh).
Hang out with friends and loved ones as much as possible; it’s priceless. Life is short, too much of it is spent on work and sleeping live and enjoy.
Option B
Have money, but you don’t want to be wasteful
Go catch a flick at a movie theater. Matinee prices are much more attractive, and usually the theaters are less crowded that early.
Hang out with friends and loved ones as much as possible; it’s priceless. Life is short, too much of it is spent on work and sleeping live and enjoy.
Option C
Degree is the only thing that distinguishes you from the typical vagabond
Working is always a method of remedying financial woes, so hit up McDonald’s,Starbucks, Quiznos, anywhere but Denny’s.
