currently in grad school and it feels sorta the same as undergrad like, structure wise? classes feel the same, assignments feel very similar. but way more focused on the subjects YOU have chosen to learn about. i think it is a little heavier in terms of workload and general availability of free time but it's a quick adjustment. i also think the bonds you form w your classmates are way stronger (although i'm in a cohort model so that may just be me!)
overall i'm very glad i committed to grad school as someone who once said they would never go :)

I did a two year masters program to receive my masters in social work. It was definitely worth it for me, because I needed that in order to become a licensed clinical social worker. I will say that there were pros and cons. I felt that I learned a lot more in my internships than in my classes, which makes a lot of sense to me knowing how I learn. My second year internship is where I discovered my loved and gift for working with children, and I canβt be more grateful that I found this work. I also got to go to Guatemala for two weeks as part of a class, which was amazing. I never got a chance to study abroad in my undergrad for various reasons so that was the closest I could get. Overall, it was a really positive experience for me.
I would say do some research on if people that are working in your desired field have found it useful. I do think that the connections and internships you can get from grad school alone can really make it worth it.
