Step 22: Start thinking about grad school

The sooner you start gathering graduate school information, the easier it will be to enter grad school after you earn a bachelor's degree.

Do a little research to find out if your job opportunities will be better if you earn a master's degree or higher. Ask at your prospective college if there are accelerated bachelor's/graduate degrees available. Focus on earning good grades in college, and consider what you might study in graduate school, and where. Not every career requires a graduate degree, and you don't have to go to grad school right after you finish your bachelor's degree. Know your options!
