Unfortunately advisors are not the most knowledgeable people about the working world though. This is just anecdotal evidence on my part, but I will say that all people I know who have gone to grad school have done so after working for a while. I literally don't know a single person who went directly from undergrad to grad.

I suppose so. That's when it gets to be financially available for a lot of people. I'll ask around but I don't think I've known any older graduate students during my time here.

I wonder what Tore's experience has been like so far...
