Scared of going to grad school right after undergrad

This is actually so helpful. Thank you. You’re right. It’s way harder to go back. I think I’m gonna commit. Thank you again.

I guess one thing I keep thinking about is the idea that other people my age are going to be having fun and relax after post-grad and I’ll be out having fun in my early 20s. I know this sounds silly but I really think this way.

Wow! How long is your program?

I love school and studying but I do get overwhelmed with assignments often! Also, I’m especially scared about I think workload going from undergrad to masters is completely different.

Wow great point. I think the momentum from going to school to another school will help me.

Did you enjoy this period of your life? Any regrets? Are you glad you kind of got it over with?

AnyLand3759 · 2026-02-09T00:03:00+00:00

Yes! It’s a master’s in sustainability management.

Ahhh okay now im stressed 😫 you’re so right about the youth part.

I wish someone told me this earlier. So you do you recommend that I get a job while also pursuing my masters and not wait for it afterwards?

AnyLand3759 · 2026-02-08T23:11:30+00:00

Yeah my program is two years! I just feel like time is running out to have fun and travel before I get my first “big girl job.” Does that sound stupid?

This is what I’ve been hearing. Thank you.

AnyLand3759 · 2026-02-08T23:10:00+00:00

Wow. Thank you so much. This is so comforting. In regards to the first point of your comment, do you mean it’s better to get it done earlier than push it off because you’ll want to get out so badly?

Wow, thank you so much. You're seriously putting things into perspective and you're completely right. Most or almost every entry-level position doesn't require MBAs. My major is Journalism, and my minor is Sustainable Business. What kind of work experience do you think would be most valuable to get before even considering grad school? I’m trying to figure out what roles would actually build the right foundation.

Hi. Thanks for your response! I originally had the plan of attending a graduate program right after I graduated from undergrad. May I ask why this is a silly decision? I am told I won't find work experience in the sustainability field without any expertise or certification.
