[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did this. Applied to grad school, graduated, drove to Alaska with boyfriend, made good money working the salmon summer season, decided in August to defer for a year. Came home in Oct, waited tables to make most money I could. Left the following August for overseas grad program. Many fellow students had taken a few years to work in their field before coming to school. It is not unusual at all. I agree with others she should try and[b] find a job in her field[/b] to see if it's what she thought it would be before spending a bunch of money for more schooling.[/quote] This is OP. My DD has worked in journalism through her school's newspaper for her last three years of college in addition to an unrelated seasonal job. I don't know if this is what you are referring to, but right now she is having trouble finding things in her field in our area that are not unpaid internships, thus the sales job.[/quote]
