...want?Please enlighten me? Hi, I just recently graduated from the university and months before, I've decided to pursue higher studies immediately after in a very prestigious university here in my country.
However, as I see some of the updates of my friends in social media sites, I tend to feel so insecure about the fact that they are landing on some jobs already. Others are telling me that I'm making a big mistake since I should work first before going to graduate school. I feel so insecure about this.
As I assess my situation, going to graduate school right now is what I REALLY REALLY REALLY want. Sure, I can entertain the idea of having a part time job while doing my graduate studies, but studying for grad school is on top of my list right now.
I just feel so uneasy because my batchmates are expecting a lot from me because I graduated with honors and I also have a good extra curricular background. Okay, partly my reason for entering grad school is 80% self fulfillment and 20%... resume boost since my undergrad major is from a not so prestigious university.
Is there something wrong with pursuing what I want in life?
