    This hits the nail on the head! Grad school is a great way to put off growing up, but there is a price to pay for walking into the world at 30 or 35 to look for your first real job.

    Almost 50,000 people got a PhD last year. Do you think that are 50,000 job openings every year for people with PhDs? Not even close.

    Here’s a whole blog of reasons NOT to go to grad school:
