I Am Going Back to College

Notifications: · Newest First

Well I am [u]considering [/u]grad school.

I was a first generation college student, so the thought of grad school stresses me out. I think about all the things that I had to learn for myself that if I had a little guidance, could have been avoided.
I feel like going to grad school will put me right back in that same boat, feeling like 'what do I need to do'😥

I don't even know all that is required as I am [b]just beginning to consider grad school [b]

It's stressful at first, but that's more expectation than reality to be honest.

[@949301,blankpage] I'm not gonna respond only because people love to belittle people if they aren't going to school for STEM. The economy would not work if everyone was in STEM

That’s cool! You are correct, forcing people into fields they don’t like or enjoy is a waste of time and money.

Follow your bliss![@467302,iamnikki]

I think the requirements were different for me because I’m old.

Pretty much everyone wanted me and was willing to forego requirements.

Take a look at the positions you want. If a lot of people have advanced degrees.... I say go for it.

My sister and I were first generation college and graduate school graduates. Some cousins hated us because their parents always said, look at those Tyler kids!
