You should think seriously about working for a year or two before you go to graduate school. One student said that having worked first was "essential" for his success in graduate school. Many of the people I interviewed said that older and more mature students who return for a graduate degree after working get through faster, have less trouble with delay, and have self-respect gained from real-world accomplishments that helps them deal with the insecurities of the graduate environment. One master’s student said, "It was easy to tell the people who had worked first. They were the ones who knew what they were doing. "
1. Recharge your batteries
If you are uncertain about your commitment, or are exhausted after four years of working for the grades to get into graduate school, take a year off.
2. Learn the skills they didn’t teach you in college
In a full-time job, you are forced to make dramatic changes in the work habits you developed as an undergraduate. You have to work steadily every day, instead of in occasional frantic rushes at exam time. You learn the importance of careful planning to meet deadlines and to develop Jong-term projects. You realize that what seemed like a lot of work when you were an undergraduate was not a great deal when measured against the amount you can do with constant daily application.
3. Develop confidence
The competency and confidence you gain on the job will help you break out of thinking of yourself as a lowly student and of the professors as superior beings. For many of you, work will act to diminish your anxiety about finding your way in the world.
4. Investigate a field that interests you
Working in your field can help you determine whether the area really interests you. Perhaps you can find a job as a research or laboratory assistant. Do you like research? It would be good to find out now before you are committed to graduate school and an academic career of what amounts to writing endless term papers.
5. Develop motivation
Many people return to school because they need the degree for further career advancement. For example, one biologist, after working as an editor for a highly respected technical journal for four years, where she made many valuable contacts in the course of working with authors, decided to return for her Ph. D. so that she could advance into more prestigious positions. The contacts she had made helped her with her graduate school career.
Certainly you do not have to work first. Even though many people start graduate school without being prepared, for you it might make sense to begin immediately after getting your bachelor’s degree. One humanities chairman said, "If you’re absolutely eager, go in. Any hesitation, take off one or two years. " It’s up to you to decide.
[A]A historian with a master’s degree taught for a number of years at a state university in Alaska and then decided to get a Ph. D. to improve his stature in the university. He used his connections to get into a good school under a professor he already knew, took a sabbatical, and completed his degree in 20 months of hard work(8 months for the thesis).
[B]Can you get a job after graduate school? Will you do well? Will you like the working world? Answering these questions by working will give you the psychological freedom to approach graduate school without feeling it is your only option. Your will know that if you don’t like graduate school, you can leave and still survive. Perhaps you will find that you like work so much that you don’t want to go back to school after all.
[C]Several students I talked with made it into graduate school and then hit a serious slump because they were out of energy. Wait to start graduate school until you are highly motivated so that you can begin earning yourself a good reputation from your first day.
[D]A Ph. D. student in history said, "I was lucky to find my thesis topic while doing an independent study. My adviser liked it, so he asked me to stay on as his grad student. It was the safest route because I already knew I like the guy and I was already into my thesis work. "
[E]If you want to be a writer, try working for a publishing house so you can learn about what gets published and how. If you are interested in art history, getting a job in a gallery or museum is an obvious step.
[F]You can also acquire or improve specific work skills, like word processing and library research, and you can learn simple tricks necessary to get efficient and rapid results, like using messengers or fax machines when you are in a pinch.
