I Want to Go to Grad School

So a friend on SW encouraged me to post a story or I guess more a question about grad school. I recently graduated from college with a degree in early childhood development and I have been accepted to Grad School to be a speech therapist. Since last year I have been working at an office/clinic that aids in speech therapy. The work is not too exciting, and I know that I want to one day be a speech therapist, but I also know that I am kinda burnt out with school, and I just want a break.

So for those that went to grad school right after college would you recommend that I take 18 months off and get work experience or just charge through and go to school?

Congratulations on completing your undergrad and being accepted for grad degree.

I would suggest or recommend to go for your grad degree and don't take a break I wish I had not because things changed and I'm still chasing my MBA.

If you're going to get your work to pay for your grad degree while working as a part-time or working there full-time but being part time student even you can take one of those options but do not discontinue education because in my opinion when you come out of grad degree now you'll be much more ahead I may be wrong.
