crossroad of life

alright, i know 2 of our friends wrote this already....
but, what they're thinking is also what i've been pondering about for these few days.

yeah, i was certain that i wanna further my studies. Yet, these few days, I've been thinking a lot... Studies I shall further, yet, the question is now or later.

The heart is telling me to take a year off, go home, sit down and think thoroughly what I wanna do in the future. Then, only I should apply for grad schools. If this option is my choice, there is a high probability that I won't even bother to go to grad school after 1 yr of working.

The mind, only the other hand, says I should get it done asap, try to get my degree in 5 yrs, then go home for good, find a job and then, ..... If this is chosen, I might not pick the right path for my future...

Which shall be the road not taken?

Depends what you want to do...

If you are really into research or teaching, then go for graduate studies.. If you're more of a practical person, i.e. work, then go for a year off first and gather 1st hand experience...
