It's a decision that deserves careful consideration. The best reasons for enrolling in a graduate program are you love a particular subject and want to study it in depth. If factors other than these are shaping your decision, you may want to think carefully before proceeding. For instance, people who are apprehensive about venturing into the job market may view grad school as a way to postpone difficult career decisions. While an advanced degree can make you more marketable for some occupations, it's not necessarily the key to finding satisfying employment.
Some students also face pressure to attend graduate school from parents or well-meaning mentors.
Make sure the advice you heed from others reaffirms your own goals. Perhaps you're sold on the idea of graduate school, but can't narrow it down to just one field. You may be able to define your interests before gradation by researching areas of study in the Career Advising and Fieldwork Center, talking with professors, and reading literature from different universities. If that doesn't help, a year or more away from school may give you a clearer perspective. Many professional schools actually prefer that applicants have a few years work experience before they apply.
