Are you ready to venture into the world of graduate school but are unsure if it's the right path for you? In our latest Coffee and Career Hour episode, we discuss exploring graduate programs and how they may align with your career goals. We offer personal insights and share how graduate school can impact your career trajectory, lifestyle, relationships, and finances.  

As we navigate this journey together, we'll uncover the benefits and costs of graduate programs - from the career advancement opportunities and potentially increased income to the focus of a master's degree versus bachelor's. Yet, we won't sugarcoat the importance of real-life work experience, which enhances your competitiveness in the candidate pool. We'll also delve into the nitty-gritty of funding your graduate journey and where to seek external funding opportunities. We discuss the impact on your lifestyle, underscoring the importance of self-care and maintaining a balanced life during this demanding period.

Within graduate school, we'll guide you through internships,  job prospects, and changes in career development. We share our experiences comparing paid and unpaid internships and help you consider the overall impact a graduate program can have on you. Ultimately, we encourage you to make an informed decision in your career, armed with insights, personal experiences, and a hot cup of coffee.
