Deciding to pursue a graduate degree is both a time and financial commitment. Before you make your choice, do some research in your field, specifically, jobs that call out to you, and see if these require Master’s/PhD or if these are only preferred. Whether you choose to jump right in or take a step into the working world, a graduate degree will always be an option you can come back to!
