I'm not really sure what to do yet. I have a choice to make whether to enter the work force after undergrad or continue on to grad school. What would you do if you had the choice?

I graduate at the end of fall and haven't really decided on any grad schools yet. I'm just trying to see what my next step should be.

I'm currently in grad school and went right from undergrad. I was tired of school, but I decided work sounded even less appealing. Plus a B.S. isn't worth a whole lot these days and I need a Ph.D. if I'm going to teach at a college someday.

I graduated about a year ago and I am planning to earn my MBA in a few years.

If you can get a good scholarship/grant and make money by being a TA or something, and can afford it, then go for it.

Where I work, at one time, it was a positive for the manager to have as many people in his\her were in grad school or had grad degrees.

I have an intership this summer doing some genetic research at Virginia Tech and had an internship last summer too. I really don't have much experience other than that yet and that is what makes me scared about entering the job force... I might not have enough to get through but I am sorta sick of schooling. I'm leaning towards entering the job force if I get a stable job...
