In this episode I talk about why I decided to pursue graduate school and particularly a Ph.D. I also discuss some things to consider when deciding on going to graduate school as well as things you should consider when deciding what type of graduate degree to pursue. Lastly, for those of you who want to attain a Ph.D. but don't feel quite ready coming out of undergrad, I discuss PREP programs and the ways they can prepare you for Ph.D. programs rather than the common alternative that is applying to (and often paying for) a Masters program.
