Category — Grad School Programs

When you think about graduate school, the first thing that comes to mind is the studying, cost, and how you are using it to put off living in the real world (just kidding!). We sometimes forget the the professor, who teaches us during the day, but actually has a real life the rest of the time. Professors and grad students work a little more closely together because sometimes grad students are heavily involved in their departments. Check out the blog The Gentlemen’s C. This (anonymous) prof offers a hilarious look into politics in academia, dealing with students, and teaching classes. A perfect site to procrastinate with!

Thanks to this glorious recession, my position at “X Publishing” company became “redundant,” and because of the “reductions,” X Publishing promptly reduced me. Hi, I’m Lindsay, and I was recently laid off.

I was a literature major in college that chose X Publishing because it was one of the places that offered me a job that actually had something to do with what I studied, AND tuition reimbursement. I never doubted that I would go back to school; I love dissecting modern American fiction, and miss the conversations we had in class. So I thought that in a few years, after I adjusted to working full-time, I would find a grad school in my area that offered me an M.A. in Literature or Professional Writing. And then X Publishing let me go.

Here I am, just as free as I was in college, and I am left with a choice: Do I pursue academia full time, or search for another job that provides tuition reimbursement? What would you do?
