Well, as someone who has worked in startups for three years. I think you should at least take on an internship with a startup to see how much you like working in a startup. There is a pretty big financial cost with going to grad school especially if you do a masters. I know that payrates for a person fresh out of a masters program is comparable to the payrate of an undergrad who worked for 2 to 3 years. My opinion is that getting some real world experience is always good before you start your own company.
- daveambrose 18y agoI second this opinion, particularly regarding real world experience. I was in a similar situation when I graduated, deciding whether or not to apply for graduate school. I decided to take an internship after I graduated for two months which eventually turned into a full-time job. I know it's difficult among our generation (Generation Y) to be patient about something important, i.e. a job, graduate school, your own company, etc, but you'll see it'll pay off down the road. Also, what did you want to study? Good luck.
