<p>Hey, so I'm hoping to get some opinions from grad students about higher education and how important it is is living a good life. If you could answer any or all of my questions, I would be very appreciative!</p>
<p>Do you think education is essential to living well?</p>
<p>What benefits are you expecting to get out of your continued education? E.g. job security? Higher pay? Emotional rewards? Etc...</p>
<p>Are you happy with your decision to go to grad school?</p>
<p>If you are not happy now, do expect your decision to bring you happiness at some later point?</p>
<p>What are the downsides of continuing your education?</p>
<p>Once again, thank you for taking the time to answer my questions!</p>
