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?

I loved college but hated grad school. I went right after college because they offered me a TA position and free tuition. It is so much more work than college and not nearly as much fun. If you feel stressed out now, you might want to take the time off. If you are in a good position to go now, you should do that. Too many people take the time off and don’t ever go back.
