Should You Go To Grad School?

Grad school, possibly neither work nor life but where else to put it? Any advice here would be too late for the New Faculty Majority, although possibly a place along the way (just not a specific one). From The Hairpin via The Awl, both recommended reading, with the latter being more of a curation page. 

It’s that time of year — when people the world over start thinking about whether they should apply to grad school. You put out some feelers, you tell your family it’s a possibility, you make long lists of the cities you’d be willing to live in once you quit the job you’ve been thinking about quitting for two years.
