Career Services is not just for careers

Previously, I wrote a blog articles which detailed where I was at in my life, and how I did not exactly know where I was going in the future with regards to beginning a career or continuing to move forward with my education. Over these past few months, the idea of grad school has been growing on me more and more and continued to become something that was not just an idea, but a legitimate option. I met with a few people I know currently working in higher education at ASU, and I spoke with them to get a better idea of why they chose that as their career path. Many of them did not enter higher education with that being their goal as an undergrad so I wanted to see what drew them to that position. These conversations really had an impact with me, and at this point, I am fairly sure that is the path I will be taking. However, with this in mind, I set up an appointment with career services. There, I voiced many of my same thoughts and ideas, and I was introduced to something that I was unaware of - career services offers services to help with grad school. These services such as the ability to review personal statements, and even provide free or reduced GRE and other grad test prep courses. I was completely unaware that these services were offered, and I found out that career services isn't just available to help you find your career, but they are also there to help you down whatever path you choose to pursue, even if that is grad school.
