So you finished your undergrad years and got a degree (no matter how useless it is). What now? You decided to go to grad school instead of getting a real job. You rationalized that you NEED at least a Master's degree to get a good job (but really, you just didn't wanna leave college).
Smaller classes, learning about what you're really passionate about, and being one step closer to your career goal. So grad school should be fun, right?
Maybe not...
