Savage Minds interviewed Sarah Kendzior (who wrote about the U.N.'s unpaid internship the other week) about her experience in graduate school while earning a Ph.D. in cultural anthropology. It's very good.

In 2009, when the economy was at its lowest, I had an undergraduate degree and was lucky enough to have a job. But it wasn't a good one, so I decided to go back to school.

Philip J. Guo recently completed a Ph.D. program in Computer Science at Stanford, and now works for Google. He has a tell-all about his experience.

This summer, I lived with a revolving cast of roommates, one of whom was going to go to law school in September. One night, my roommate mentioned that he was going to go through law school so he could "meet the right people," and then he said he'd apply to med school because that was his real passion. I may have choked a bit when he said that. I was in college for seven years because I did a master's program in English literature, followed by a Master of Library and Information Studies.

After my post on law school the other day, one of you sent me this video, which is quite funny.

Kate Levin has an essay at The Paris Review recalling a time when she half-heartedly pursued law school, and encountered Monica Lewinsky while taking the LSATs.

Last week, we talked about what some of our biggest financial mistakes were, and a few of you mentioned grad school, specifically, law school.
