I'd love to print out the grad school article and carry copies around to everyone who says tome "hey, you should go to grad school". Although, the article completely skips over the Social Services type degress. For that, I would say "it depends on what you want to do". County Social Worker? Need a Masters. Elementary School Guidance counselor? Just a BS. High School Guidance Counselor? Masters required.

But I honestly see no point in getting a Masters degree in something when I don't really know what I'd want to do. Something as vague as "English" just doesn't cut it for me.
