Is Graduate School a Good Investment?

5. Study past data to see what the prospects are for graduates of programs you are considering. You can usually find out job-placement statistics from the school's career services office. Knowing specifics about what type of job to expect after graduation can make it easier to evaluate whether attending is worth it.

It's important to look at this advice. Too bad, there are many schools that do not even provide this critical information and there are way too many students willing to pay without asking.

When in doubt, repeat this mantra: "If it's true good to be true, it is. And if they don't show it, it's probably not so good."
