I want to go to graduate school, but I don't know in what, or whether I should pursue a masters or Ph.D.
The pros of a masters: Entry level, easier to get into, less time commitment (2 years instead of 6), but VERY expensive (30 thousand dollars a year), has a better chance at a more prestigious career/better grad school.
The pros and cons of a PhD: More prestigious, MUCH less expensive/free (THEY pay YOU to get one!), takes 2 less years to get the same credentials ..but less likely to get into, and you really (I think) have to know what you want to do before you enter into a program.
So what should I do, folks? I don't even know how to get closer to knowing what I should do. I thought making this list of pros/cons would help, but really it just makes me more confused.
