<p>“i’ve had problem just finding a job period”</p>
<p>A job in your field, or a job at, say Starbuck’s? The economy is tough right now, and it looks like it is getting tougher. Spending a year or two in grad school with NO GUARANTEE OF A JOB AFTERWARDS may not really be in your best interest.</p>
<p>After I finished my M.S., it was more than a year before I hit on anything remotely in my field of study, and then it was only because I’d gotten married to a grad student at my old university and moved back to that area. I was hired by my former department for a lab support job that required a high school diploma.</p>
