The decision to apply to graduate school requires a great deal of thought because the commitments of time, energy and finances for a graduate degree are considerable. Students seeking a safe alternative to work after college because they are unsure of specific career goals, will certainly find that graduate school is not the place to "find oneself." Graduate study requires self-discipline and a dedication to one's field of study.
