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?

There are pros and cons to going to grad school right away and to waiting. Persistentone22 is correct life has a tendency to get in the way if you wait. If you don’t wait you run the risk of burning out. The nice thing about grad school is you can always look and find grants to help pay for it. Some companies might pay part of it in return for you working for that company for a year or two. It comes down to your decision. But remember he or she who hesitates is lost and he or she who should have hesitated is also lost. You will make the right choice.
