<br/><br/> "Droves of recent college grads and disgruntled or laid-off workers are considering graduate school....Seeking refuge in a grad school in a lackluster labor market is a time-tested strategy. When jobs were scarce in the mid-1980s, graduate applications rose about 7 percent a year." (U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT) The author discusses the recent surge in applications to graduate schools and suggests that "before you sign up for the GMAT or GRE, before you send away for applications, even before you start fantasizing about grassy quads, Gothic libraries, and avuncular professors, it pays to ask yourself whether you should be going to graduate school at all.".
