I'm in it. Many of you are probably too young to remotely give a shit about it.
Specifically, I'm in the Public Administration (M.P.A.) program at this fine institution.
Personally, I find it interesting, but in a more detached sort of way. While I get that having a Master's will increase my marketability and allow me to apply for positions in Higher Ed (where I work now) that will demand higher salaries, I'm just not particularly invested.
So, SE, what grad program are you in?

That all depends, however, on how the rest of the year goes in terms of helping me decide between an MBA or a Master's in Psychology (the latter of which I pretty much have to get in the States because my undegrad degree was in Finance from here).
Still, I have to do the research as to what programs I'd be interested in.
I can get a plenty decent job with a bachelors thankyouverymuch!
I seriously envy people with non-science degrees sometimes. I know they'll have to get through way more school to get a job but dammit they never have to take Ochem.
They cast a shadow like a sundial in the morning light. It was half past 10.
I am going to be a Professor in Holocaust according to some people.
i'm at the "freaking out" stage right now.

Now you are out of a job.
(It's like getting a promotion the easy way.)
I have to admit that deep down inside I hope that this will get me a job as the Pagemaster.
see law is just a bachelor degree over here, which must be pretty weird from your perspective
I mean, i was 17 when i first started studying law
Nope, my job will be around as long as people keep chugging down gallons of soda each and every day.
somehow he's also in his second year of his ph.d. as well

I'd feel worthless comparitively if it wasn't so much fun not doing that.
did he go to undergrad at Brown too? what department?
steam | Dokkan: 868846562
are you a brown alum?
yeah, undergrad.
steam | Dokkan: 868846562
he was probably mostly compsci and math at brown, if I know him at all
his name is jadrian and he has a bitchin' moustache
My friend did pre-law and Vanderbilt, and is now studying at Harvard law. He's just gotten done with his first year. Really smart guy.
Anyhow, he was freaking out because of how difficult Harvard was (ha, go figure). But he's now working a 30-hour-a-week summer job and making $2000 a week. I'm pretty sure that he's cool with his decision to do law school now. He's basically going to make my entire year's salary in three months.
also a CFA candidate
undergrad was econ and applied math
i graduated back in '05, and i was squarely a humanities person by the time i left. haven't really been doing the alumni thing since, either...

considering: UBC, Ottawa, UVic, other canadian schools
when jadrian and I were dating and he wanted really badly to transfer to brown, we went to visit providence and look around -- seemed like a cute town, did you like it?
fuckin Hahvahd.
do you know if he ever read One L?

How dare you.

i finished grad school at the beginning of the year

Firefighter = best career evar.
It also involves a strange amount of physics. If you get technical, anyway.
I have no clue. To be fair, he was pretty miserable there last year. But I'm certain that he is not regretting his decision now.
Ph.D. in underboob gifs?
the job market has a high demand i hear.

almost
geography
i considered a phd, but really, i don't plan on teaching full time, just as a part time gig in conjunction with my real job, then maybe teach full time when i retire
i was in school a very long time, switching majors and all, having a family and life in general stretched it out to about 10-12 years of constantly being in school in some form or another

Online schools scare me. That shit is to new to be taken that seriously. And what prevents one from just googling every question on a test?
