The decision to go to graduate school is easy for future doctors and lawyers: they need a professional degree to start their careers. But for many young creative workers, aspiring artists, and intellectuals, grad school poses an existential fork in the road. An MFA or a humanities PHD can give you time to study something you love among people with similar interests, but it can also uproot you geographically and saddle you with debt. Given the current job market, is grad school really worth it- financially, professionally, and emotionally? In this book, a wide range of intellectuals and creative types share their stories about going to grad school or avoiding it, and what that decision has meant in their lives. They provide an inside look at what graduate programs are really like and share the wisdom they wish they had going in. -- Publisher description
