The time until graduation seems to be a constant topic of conversation. What exactly is most important to you going to school for? Are you going to graduate with a degree in accounting? A degree in nursing? Or perhaps an additional degree in psychology? Whatever your degree, I think you can quickly come to the realization that the time spent preparing for it is the most valuable time you can spend.
Going to school is one of those things that everyone talks about, and that makes it seem like the most important thing in the world, but it’s not. As long as you’re getting a degree, you are going to be required to spend a significant amount of time in school. This is true for every step of the way.
As a new student, you are required to take classes for 30 credits. Every time this term ends, you must take a new class. Every week you have to take a new class, and the more classes you take, the longer the amount of time you have to prepare. This is why most new students end up flunking out before they even graduate high school.
But grad school isn’t just a matter of taking classes. The actual amount of time you spend in class is also a factor. By the time you arrive at your graduation, you will probably have taken a dozen of classes. It is difficult to spend this much time in class, especially if you have other responsibilities, like a job or child care.
The problem is that once you get into grad school, you have no idea how to finish. There are no courses you can take called “You can finally get out of this, can’t you?” So you must constantly keep track of what you are learning and trying to remember what you have learned.
This is why I never went to grad school, because I would have had no idea how to finish. It’s also why I’m glad I graduated from college at 30, because I didn’t have to worry about how I was going to finish. I had to figure it out, and I got good at it.
So many people start grad school at 30 with no idea what they are going to do in their lives. It’s so depressing. But then, this is what most of us do. We wait until we are 30 and then we figure out our career paths and career goals. I think that we should all be more aware of this ourselves so that we don’t end up like the people whom I just named.
It can be depressing to wait until you are 30 to figure out what you are going to do when college beckons. But, if you don’t, you will be stuck in this limbo forever. That doesn’t mean that you need to put your life on hold for that long. If you are going to start grad school at 30, you should think about it now.
The main reason I want to go to grad school is to get a good job and make some money. As I said earlier, I am going to grad school so that I can find a job that will allow me to pay my student loans and the mortgage on my house. I want to work for a company that needs a lot of money and is looking for engineers.
For most people, this is not a problem. We are all going to grad school to get a good job and make money. Grad school is like any other degree. You need to do whatever the heck you want.
