<p>I’m not a big fan of books and reading, but I will do what is required or if it is really interesting. Will I make it through grad school with this kind of reading habit?</p>
<p>Engineering graduate school? Sure. You won’t have to do a lot of reading.</p>
<p>Im an impatient reader. So far that hasn’t affected me so far in grad school. Same amount of reading as undergrad for me.</p>
<p>You will have to read a lot of journals as you get farther along and start working on a thesis.</p>
<p>There is so much information out there that I feel that I must read textbook after textbook just to gain enough information to have the slightest clue about what’s going on in whatever field I will be entering.</p>
<p>That goes without saying…
It isn’t as difficult as you would think.</p>
<p>If you picked up a calc book when you were 5 years old you would think that you had no chance to succeed at anything. You would think that you are way over your head and that you could never understand this type of material.</p>
<p>What happens? Years pass and you take pre-algebra, alg 1, etc… and before you know it you were doing calculus.</p>
<p>Moral? Take one semester at a time and don’t try very hard to comprehend what you are going to need to know in order to become Dr. steevee. You will learn more and more, step by step and you will work your way up to levels that you can’t conceive at this point.</p>
<p>Of course you can make it through graduate school</p>
<p>The material will be a lot harder and you’ll also have to juggle proposals, research and academic advisers but it isn’t anything you can’t really handle. As for reading, you might have to read journals as well as the usual text book but the degree of literature really depends on your program and research goals.</p>
