Lindsey Gerdes, Business Week Online, 2/6/07, p. 11

Graduate school or full time employment: that is the question. Two very different worlds are out there — which will you choose? It all depends on what you are looking for, and how you want to spend your time.

This article discusses the benefits and challenges of graduate school and full time employment. A varied schedule filled with lectures, research, and readings versus the predictable 9-5 work day full of meetings and appointments where your work ends when you step out of the office door. What road will you take?

Do you want to learn more about both avenues? Read this article and visit the Career Resource Library located in the Palace Road Building room 304E.
