Poll - Graduate Education
Please fill out this poll on graduate education. I find myself woefully undereducated on:
- How other people decide what they want to do for graduate education
- How they fund it when they decide what they want to do
[Edit: this poll hasn't gotten any responses today. Do you guys think it's too personal?]
Since I want to go back to school, I figured I should at least figure out which directions to start looking in and try and ignore the ones that are not actually salient, but I realized that I didn't actually know which directions those were.
Typing "grad school funding" into google is a nightmare of conflicting advice, and talking with people about how they picked their career path seems to net me a lot of people who either already knew what they wanted to do and what degree they needed to do it with, or got a job doing something they liked and then ended up going to graduate school for it, but I don't fit into either of those options and figure some of you might not, either.
I figure that a poll of several hundred people is bound to get more than 10 replies and is a good place to start.
