What is “grad school?” Like most answers to questions asked during graduate school, “it depends.”

  • You can go to graduate school for anything, as long as you’ve completed the prerequisites.

  • You get to pick the focus area you become an expert in.

  • It is possible to go to graduate school for free.

  • It is possible to get paid to attend graduate school.

A brain is surrounded by thought and speech bubbles. The thought bubbles include: 'exams...', 'specialized classes I care about', 'want the degree', '1-5+ years', '$$$', 'job market', and 'different career options'. The speech bubbles say 'It's either ramen or avocado toast for the next 5 years' and 'Professional student here I come!'
There's a lot to consider before deciding to attend graduate school.

So what questions should I ask myself? Visit this page for more on that topic.
