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?

Oh i would say that may work is not that exciting, mostly bc half of my job is more clerical office work, the other half I get to help more with the clients/patients and that is very rewarding especially with kids. So my work experience is not dissuading me from wanting to pursue speech therapy.

Yes my parents have been a big help to me, but they made it clear that grad school is on me, like they will help with some expenses but i have to pay tuition and stuff. I am basically debt free from college bc my parents paid for that (mostly) I still had to work and pay for stuff too.
