Reasons why grad school might not be right for you  (By twansalem (36) on 02/19/2008)

This is intended to be a list of real reasons why someone considering grad school might be better off entering the real world instead. Insulting reasons such as "You aren't smart enough" will not be added to this list. Inspired by one of the more stressful few weeks I've had as a grad student. 5 = I could not deal with this.
