[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends heavily on the graduate program and the individual. MBA? Absolutely work first. PhD? Really depends on the program, the experience the person has has and how sure they are that they want to pursue it. I have a son in a 6 year PhD program- the work he wants to pursue requires a PhD in the field, so if he took time to work after college, he felt he would have been biding his time in a job he wasn't interested in just to have a gap. He also is well aware he'll be close to 28 when he finishes and would like to be done with school by then if possible. I think there's a lot of situations where a gap is preferable for both personal and career reasons, but in some situations it makes sense to move straight to grad school.[/quote]
