Summary: Are you thinking about graduate school? As their initial podcast, The Unlikely Academics discuss reasons not to go to graduate school paying particular attention to themes of the kinds of issues potential applicants may not have considered. Topics include money, family, relationships, life balance, loss, publishing, egos, advisors, working late hours, moving, and the various types of programs available to non-traditional students and other Unlikely Academics.

Going to graduate school is not a light decision and information is power.
