It’s daunting when you don’t know what to expect about graduate school…or you’re worried you won’t measure up. This episode helps dispel the myths and addresses some of the common misconceptions. We unpack the realities, including: how to determine if graduate school is the right next step for you; when to apply; the time and financial investment of a graduate education; what life is like after getting in; the need for work-life balance; and the importance of finding the right mentor.
