Grad School, Schmad School
On the one hand its great to have a former professor whose opinion you trust to help you out with the planning the future career thing.
On the other hand, its not so great when it comes to her challenging you to try harder and go for that big name school you'll need on your resume when all is said and done and you're looking for work. Thereby putting on a great deal of pressure. I know she knows my limitations and won't send me off into the world blindly with no clue as to what to expect.
Nevermind the whole Ph.D./ dissertation thing, I don't even know if I'm smart enough to get into any program let alone a highly selective top school. Oy. Nevermind the cost!
Grad school is hard...and I haven't even gotten into it yet.
