thank you! (Reply to this comment)

thank you very much for sharing you experience as i am caught between going forth to grad school in another state or staying at home not knowing what more or less.
going to grad school is a big decision for me. i never thought myself capable of making a difference in the world despite all my flaws and societal/family obligations.
currently, i am involved in a relationship that has talks of raising a family and WOW i never considered really thought about it. but your encouragement made me realize i have an opportunity to seize the world and explore the extents of my abilities.
thank you again and may all those seeking grad school follow Gods will and not anyone else's or even their own.

Most will hire you with just an undergraduate degree! (Reply to this comment)
by matthewn
I don't quite agree that more degrees necessarily make you stand out more. In fact, some employers I know think that real "smart" employees tend to have an entitlement mentality. If you have a degree, most employers will be likely to hire you, because they now that college graduates are more trainable.
This question may now sound contradictory, but to get into Masters School do you have to have a certain GPA? I am about to graduate with a philosophy degree in 1.5 years, and my hard effort is only getting me C's. I would eventually like to teach philosophy at the college level, but am concerned about GPA. Feel free to email me the answer at newcomb_matthew@hotmail.com Thanks!

I'm going through this now with both my kids. One is taking the GRE exam tomorrow!! (She's looking at Phd programs) my other one has applied to 15 medical schools. Their mom (that's me) just had to contend with a regular couple of master's degrees :) jo

Once again, excellent... (Reply to this comment)

I would throw into the list of degrees where a graduate degree is almost vital, business. It seems everyone has an undergraduate degree in business these days (mine is in Business Economics), and getting my MBA has done wonders in making me stand apart from the crowd. I also feel that the quality of undergraduate business programs has greatly diminished over the years, to the point that I often have to re-train many of my new hires in how to deal with real-world business decisions. In my experience, most undergraduate business classes are taught by career professors who could probably not balance their own checkbook, while the graduate programs are usually taught by business professionals who are ‘giving back’ to the schools that reared them.
