I want to start this by outing myself as an absolute school nerd.

As in, I used to "assign" myself summer book reports in elementary and middle school. I would gladly be an eternal student — if I could get paid just to go to school and learn for the rest of my life, I'd be in heaven.

So when I hear my clients saying things like, "I'm not really sure what I'm passionate about or what kind of career I want, so I'm thinking about going back to grad school to figure it out," I'll admit that my first split-second reaction is, "Yeah, school!"

But even I have to admit that going back to grad school isn't always the right answer to the question, "What am I supposed to do with my life?"

To be honest, more often than not, I see people going back to grad school simply because they don't know what else to do. Plenty of people use grad school as a way of feeling productive and directed, when unconsciously it's just a way of postponing the scary step of figuring things out in the "real world."

So how can you tell if more education is worth it, or if you're doing it for the wrong reasons? That's what we're getting into in this week's throwback blog…
