Send me a Text Message.Dennis Guzik is the host of the Be the Ultimate podcast, where he shares valuable career advice.• One of the most common questions he is asked as a former corporate leader is whether to go to grad school.• The first factor to consider is if grad school is necessary and if it will benefit your career.• If the answer is yes, then it's important to think about whether you enjoy the field of study and can handle the time and cost.• While going to grad school while working full time may take longer, it provides a steady income and potential employer support.• Full-time grad school offers a more immersive experience but requires financial investment without a salary.• Another option is going straight to grad school after obtaining a bachelor's degree, which may be beneficial with more experience under your belt.• Ultimately, the decision should be based on personal preference and weighing the factors of liking the field, needing it for your career, and being able to handle the commitment.
