Consider What You Hope to Accomplish
First and foremost, what do you hope to achieve by obtaining an advanced degree?
Is there a particular job you hope to have one day?
In what time frame, realistically, do you see yourself obtaining that role?


Career counselors or life coaches can be a nice asset when you are trying to figure out what to do with your life. Many universities staff these positions in-house, or you may decide to deal with someone else directly.
