In Episode 8 of The PhD-to-Be podcast, we discuss the pros and cons of taking a gap year between degrees. Dallas shares her experiences in taking a gap year between her bachelor's and master's and her master's and PhD. We use UC Davis' "Should I Take a Gap Year Before Graduate School?" and Northeastern University's "Gap Year Before Grad School: Things To Know" to guide our discussion. Did you take a gap year? What was your experience? Let us know at [email protected].
