<p>I would agree with idad- grad school isn’t to get a job.
I know those with BAs who have jobs in their fields, because they are cheaper than those with MAs/Phds for the same type work.</p>
<p>Neither of my kids have ever had a problem finding a job.
It is about willingness to learn, good references & contacts.
You can get those without spending thousands of dollars in debt for a grad degree</p>
<p>( my daughter was a tech writer for a while- including contracting for Microsoft, until she couldn’t stand it anymore and the last time she took a computer class, was when she worked with Americorps after high school. Now she is doing something she likes much better, teaching science to kids and working with adults who want to learn how to do that)</p>
