#esp if ur a grad student…one thing a university will NEVER do is pay u well!!!
Note
hihi i was wondering what you’re studying in grad school? i’m debating going LOL
i’m currently in a master’s program 4 a gender studies degree! my experience has been. pretty good so far but if ur located in the u.s. my honest advice is don’t go 2 grad school unless u can get it fully funded…or unless ur rich enough 2 just eat the cost of paying 4 a program in which case u can probably do whatever u want lol
#can only speak 2 the higher ed system in the u.s. but#master’s programs in particular r harder 2 find funding for#& most people in them r getting a degree 4 a specific career or planning 2 continue working in academia#phd programs here r funded but harder 2 get into bc of it & a bigger commitment & also still underpaid so#anyway. only reason i was able 2 do this master’s degree was bc one of the schools i applied 2 gave me tuition remission + a stipend#i would NOT recommend going into debt 4 a master’s degree. generally speaking…#also don’t generally recommend going into grad school straight from undergrad…obv every person’s situation is different etc#but my general advice would be go 2 grad school if u have a specific career path in mind not just if u aren’t sure what else 2 do etc#like lbr the university is not a sacred bastion of learning lol it’s a job like any other & comes w its own forms of exploitation#esp if ur a grad student…one thing a university will NEVER do is pay u well!!!
