Should I go to grad school or no?

Inogenius

I graduate with my Bachelors soon. School is pretty boring already to me, but having a MBA would be pretty cool, right?

RIGHT?!?

Here's my issues as to why I shouldn't go:
1.) It costs a lot of money.
2.) I'm pretty lazy.
3.) In most of my business classes, I already understand the principles. I still have to look at the books to know the terms, like "accrual based accounting."

Why I should go:
1.) It will diversify my business knowledge, or it's supposed to.
2.) I'll be able to call myself Terrance Inogenius, MBA.
3.) It supposedly will make job finding, and demanding more money easier.

Personally, I think I'd be better off going back to the community college and taking the classes I'm interested in. Like, teaching, history, and IT stuff.

Yeah, I too like taking classes that interest me.. just because.. wealth of knowledge. Knowledge is power. I think we had that conversation already.However, what would you do with the courses you take at CC? I can't see that really affecting the way you job hunt.

I would say go for it if you can stand it.

I will be done with my Bachelor's Degree in December of this year and I have considered continuing on in graduate school. I have pretty much decided against it though because I am so tired of school right now. I think I am going to go ahead and start working and besides, a Master's Degree in C.J. wouldn't really do me much good around here.

I'm going to, but mostly so that I'll be able to teach at colleges/universities and not have to rely on writing to make a living.

I finished my History Honours BA last year. Instead of going the teaching route most others were going, I am taking a one year grad certificate course in Public Relations, and I couldn't be happier.

Inogenius

That's what my minor is in.

I think I'm going to hold off for a bit, which means I'll probably never go back.

That is what I did between my Associates Degree and my Bachelors Degree.

That little bit ended up being 3 1/2 years and it is hard to go back.

I was under the same dilemma a year or so ago.

I chose not to as:

1. It would do nothing to advance my job in my current position and I plan to be here at my job for awhile making good money.

2. Already in debt with my student loans up to eyeballs and I can't afford to be in debt forever

3. Not enough time with kids to look after
