I graduated with a BS in Psychology in December. I'm going to go to graduate school for a MSW Social work/ MS Child Development dual degree, or one of those degrees or the other.
Should I
A.) Get a job first and then start school close to home (commute)
B.) Move farther away and start school first and then look for a job(live on campus or near campus in a BIG city)
C.) Just go to school and not work (except for an internship or two that they sign me up for.)
Could you please say the reason why you choose the answer you do?

If you can afford "C" this is what I would do. Get the degree done and then find a job that really suits you. If you can not afford it economically then I would say A or B depending on if you want to live at home and/or the school you want to attend is away from home.

Take a year off from both. Travel if you can. Can you get a writing freelance job somewhere? Write your own articles about places you are going or gone and see if you can get them published. There will be always more learning and work in your future. You have no kids no husband I am guessing. Your free. Do not try to bog yourself down in day to day garbage right away. Life is not the top of the summit. it is the travel up the side to get you there. Another good saying that has served me well was it is the side of the mountain that sustains life not the top. In other words its the gaol that keeps you going, but the true beauty of life is not the goals. It is the trail we take to get there. I hope this makes sense to you. And Good Luck

B. Seemed better. Mature and independent.

You alone should decide what is your career future.
