Thank you to those who responded to my last posting inquiring about the reasons to attend graduate school versus the reasons not to attend based on your opinions. A common pro that was listed was you can get a better or higher degree that will lead to more job opportunities. Also, you remain a student able to put off paying loans and you live in the comfort of not having to actively search for jobs. All agreed that going to graduate school is very costly.
A couple circumstances one poster presented that not many consider is that grad school makes you stand out against another potential candidate in the job market. Also, on the other hand not all professions require you to have a more than a bachelors degree such as masters.
It is true that attending grad furthers your education and gives you more in-depth learning opportunities on a particular field of study. In addition, during the time you are in school the job market may very well improve vastly, but that is never guaranteed. If you do decide to put off attending a graduate school for the time being, it is important to note that you can always go later if not immediately after college.
