Had someone told me this when I got out of college, I might just have skipped grad school.  I would love to be earning $70K/year, getting to go home at night and not having to worry about a damn thing until the next day.  Woulda, coulda, shoulda.[/quote]

So, will you tell your own kids not to go to grad school?[/quote]

It all depends.  If it's for some specialization that will result in a good job on other side, sure.  If it's because he/she flitted through college studying some useless major, unlikely.  I'd probably send that kid back to undergrad for degree that might actually lead to a job.

Just to be clear, I have two grad degrees - engineering and law.  I am a practicing lawyer.  I wish I had stopped at the engineering degree, because I could have made a good living as an engineer, and not had to work 60+ hours/week with no vacations without pain.  [/quote]

LOL!  Engineers in my company routinely work 60 hours a week.[/quote]
