Good going!! I am planning to apply for grad school for fall 2010. I try to seriously focus on application process but then I start to doubt by asking questions to myself-"Am I really ready for this? What do I want to do with a PhD degree?" I know I don't want to be in academics or more precisely an instructor in college because I know I don't have the qualities to become a teacher. The only possibility I can think of is going in the industry but given the grim economic situation of today, it's not easy in industry either. And since I assume I am not ready, I think of working a year or two before starting the grad school but again what's the point of wasting time if you want to obtain a PhD eventually anyway (yeah 6 years is a long time!!). Life is so confusing...and I don't even know what I really enjoy! I am applying as if shooting in the dark just hoping that my bullet will fortuitously strike some target.
