[quote=Anonymous]It really depends on the program. For sciences and engineering, it's generally expected that you go straight out of undergrad. This is due to the fact that many of those people will also go on to a phd, so you've got to specialize and get your education done before you'll get a "real" job. Maybe you'll have one year between undergrad and graduate school to be a research assistant, but that's all. I've heard that med school has been trending older, as the competition has become even stiffer. It's increasingly difficult to go straight from undergrad, as you need to have volunteer and research experience that shows you really want the career. From anecdotal experience I've seen, it appears that MBAs are getting younger. My friends who recently received mbas stated that they met many people with only one or two years of work experience. Still, there's lot of older folks in those programs.[/quote]
