<p>I was actually just discussing graduate schools with my parents yesterday. One works at a large DC non-profit, and it attracts a lot of younger people who don’t end up pursuing careers there but do usually put in a couple of years after college graduation to a) save up money and b) get work experience and c) test the waters to see if a career/further study of politics/law is what they want to be up to. Although she knows people who went each of the different ways (first going to grad school, then on to the workaday world; as opposed to working a few years first, then going to grad school), she says most tend to follow the second route. So if I was you, I wouldn’t worry about whether you can get a job after Wes, because I think that’s the generally accepted path for most people who graduate from LACs to begin with.</p>
