On the other hand, you may be one of those people who has always wanted to be a doctor, and is dying to get into medical school. Or, you may be a philosopher at heart who really wants to become a professor in a research university. As I mentioned, if you feel passionately about continuing your education as soon as possible—or, perhaps, getting it over with—it is not necessary to think of gaining worldly experience and being a student as a dichotomy. Depending on your program, it is entirely likely that while you are on breaks from classes, you can go abroad or get an internship or start freelance writing. What else is student loan money there for, if not for providing you with the experiences that will benefit you in the future?
