I ACED MY GRE'S......Help!!

But have no idea what to do for graduate school. Anyone want to suggest something...anything ????


:cry:

If you don't know what you want to do in graduate school, don't go. It's a long, anxiety-ridden road, and there's no guarantee an advanced degree will qualify you for squat when you're done.

I'm a secretary with a Ph.D. I know.

With an emphasis on personality testing. Theoretically, there should have been a few jobs in the field, outside of academia. I did have one small consulting job, but it wasn't enough to live on. Hence the secretarial position.

However, when I started, I did have a goal -- to become a psychotherapist after a post-doc in clinical psych. I'd never go into a Ph.D. program for lack of something else to do. It takes too long, the anxiety drives you crazy, you're impoverished the whole time, and you end up in a huge pool of people competing for 4 or 5 academic jobs at the end. The education is great, and I'd do it in a heartbeat if I were independently wealthy.

just don't go looking for a job right now, stay in school.

will go back to school soon...question is what will i go back for?

what you would like to spend the next 2 years of your life studying but wind up not applying in the work-force.

:party:

You need to spend some time alone and ask yourself "what would I absolutely LOVE to do for the next 50 years?"

What could you see yourself doing - or at least working around - for 50+ years.

If you could never do *one* thing, consider a field which lets you move around a lot (tech, sales, business and law are all good for this.)

Unfortunately for business and law you need to take another test (GMAT and LSAT respectively...)
