Four and a half years of my life. Hours spent in libraries, labs, study groups...blood, sweat, and tears shed in abundance. (Also some crazy good times, too, but still.) Earning my Bachelor's of English was tough stuff. And besides a shiny '08 tassel and a crisp diploma, I feel I don't have much to show for it. No job. Sad.
After analyzing my goals and dreams, after consulting the wisest people in my life, after prayer and frustration and rejection letter after rejection letter, I think I might go to grad school. Personally I'm interested in pursuing the Master's of Information and Library Science; that's right, I (think I) want to be a librarian!

Since I am still in the beginning stages of graduate school contemplation, the rest of this entry is devoted to the general. A quick question shot out to wikianswers informed me that only 9.4% of the population has earned a Master's Degree. That's really not very many, which makes me think, is graduate school that fearsome?
Fortunately, our very own Experience.com has some fantastic resources for those of us contemplating higher education. Seriously, if you have ever thought about continuing on with your academic pursuits, check out this page. It has answers to questions you didn't even know you were asking! From whether grad school is for you to how to get in to financial aid opportunities, this place has it all.
So, let me hear it. Anyone else interested in everlasting education?

I miss school, too! As the summer comes closer to ending I'm feeling it more and more. I would encourage you to keep looking for the job of your dreams. (Maybe because that's what I'm doing). Good luck either way.
