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?

well i dont know I have two degrees and they are about 5 years between each in the workforce there are pluses on both sides of the argument you are already in the study mode now if you get a job at a school or like in social work for a state they will normally pick up the cost. what ever you decide i wish you the best but also you need to look at personal life are you wanting kids and family dont spend your youth chasing money quality of life is far more valuable in the long run
