Be it because you want to go to law school or med school, or because you want to access a domain that requires you to have a related degree, you may be headed back to the classroom after grad school. You\\u2019ll probably be a much better student than you were before, and your motivation for studying and for completing your new degree will be much greater at this juncture.

\\n
\\n\\u201cYou guys are all marketable individuals.
