I am finishing my Master next May and still can't decide if I want to work or I will apply to PhD for Fall 2014.
My post-grad plan was working in the industry of my interest for an year, polish my profile (GRE, SOP, and such) while working and then apply to PhD for Fall 2015 with 1 year work experience.
A friend of mine who is currently a PhD candidate told me that professors prefer students who come straight from Master, because they are "easy to train."
So yes, I am confused. please enlighten me!
