Find a funded program

Depending on what you're studying, grad school is the level of education where they are most likely to pay you for going to school. If you can't do that, then expect to go into massive amounts of debt and then rely on public service student loan forgiveness.

afaik, not unless it’s paid for

i’m not in grad school/haven’t applied for other reasons, but a big piece of advice my v wise mentor/professor in college about grad school was that she really stressed not going into debt for grad school, especially in today’s world and job market. so even if you aren’t sure you’d 100% “use” it, if it’s with scholarships and a fellowship so you graduate debt-free, worry less. on the other hand, even if you’re very sure you would “use” it but you’d have to go into debt seriously ask yourself if it’s that worth it. if you only want a master’s (in the US), there are not always as many fellowships / assistantships for master’s students so go for a PhD program with a “terminal master’s” so you can do two years, decide if you like it, and if you don’t you still get a master’s at the two year mark (this was also advice i received). my obvious caveat is that i’m not in grad school (yet?) but i‘d literally trust this professor with my life so i trust that this advice is sage enough to pass on!

This photograph of anthony bourdain

so much to talk about, the sunglasses, the scarf, the fresh baguette and coffee, the always lovely cafe setting. I think this is the most swag ever captured on camera I aspire to be at this level
