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

I agree with polarscribe. The grad students in my lab had a general idea of where they were headed. They didn’t know exactly where but they knew between academia vs. industry vs. government. Those who wanted to go into academia pursued postdoc positions whereas industry focused people applied for biotech positions.

I think your first year or two in graduate school will be a good time to figure it out if you haven’t already. If you are a senior graduate student and you have no idea where you are headed… I’d be worried.
