And then some.

See how much all these overlap?
Uff da. 

And none of this brainstorm takes into account the other factors of location, distance from home, support network, living situations, civic engagement, community, perhaps a little thought on income and benefits...yeah.

My dad took 5 years to work and get life experience and stuff between graduating with his bachelor's and starting his masters program.
I feel like I may take after my dad.
I feel like I need more time and more life experience before I can figure out what I'm going to do when I grow u...I mean, when I get older.
