I went to graduate school right after college, and I regret it. I wish I had waited and joined the workforce first.

• Right after I graduated from college, I went straight into grad school.
• I wish I had waited to go to grad school and instead followed my other interests.
• I want young people to know that they don't have to rush into getting their master's degree.

The final exams for my bachelor's degree took place in March 2005, and by June, I was enrolled in my master's program.
