More life decisions (grad school or what?)

Scratch that--finding and choosing internships wasn't even really planning a future, it just seemed kind of necessary. It's been nice just enjoying my life at college, taking a courseload where 90% of the classes

hey,

so yeah I've been thinking about post-graduation quite a bit... and from the sound of it, it seems like a viable option is to work at a academic/national research lab -- e.g. the JHU Applied Physics Lab in MD -- for a few years. In such places they usually have a program that will pay for / subsidize further studies towards a masters degree. I'm thinking about it.

I actually talked to APL at the career fair and they seem pretty great! They do pay for an MS directly.

You think they don't mind if you spend only a few years there?

grad school, much like undergrad, is for sheep. start some cockamamy business ventures with me.

dude, seriously. don't go to fucking grad school. these are the ripest years of your life. live them with some goddamn energy. you've been a speck in the institutionalized education system for what, 16 years now? don't you believe that somewhere in the world there are profound learning experiences to be had outside of a classroom? drop this grad school bullshit like a redheaded baby. do something exciting, insane, morally suspicious. you can be a cautious pussy when you're 50, bitch.
