do you know what you're doing after grad school?

You might not know exactly what you want to do, but you should at least have a general idea of your field. Getting a graduate degree in history and then finding out that you hate teaching and writing… well, you’re kind of screwed.

A lot of people I talked to said they try not to really think about it until closer to the end.



Honestly, that’s really bad planning.

The best thing my USFS internship supervisor ever taught me was to think a year or two ahead about one’s career - always have at least a rough idea of “what’s next.”
