The post-University Blues is a common phenomenon in our day and age, with a lot of us deciding whether to continue on to our master's or doctorates or enter into the stress that is job hunting.
Continuing on with your education
For some of us, the idea of entering the job market is frightening and we're more willing to pile up on the student debt and go straight to do our master's or our doctorate's. If this is path your taking there are some things that you need to make sure to take note of.
- Are you financially capable of continuing your education- Most universities only offer on-campus housing to freshman/1st years and appropriate scholarships are hard to come by.
- Will your future career needs experience- A lot of careers now require a minimum of 1 years experience in the chosen field. If you're going to be studying full time will you be able to rack up the experience you need if you're not in a placement or internship?
- Can you handle the workload- Postgraduate study is a lot more demanding and time consuming compared to undergraduate study. Many people have thought that their postgraduate study would be as ''easy'' as undergrad work (as a business management graduate that work was easy) only to crash and burn halfway through.
