  1. Well, I am at a bit of a crossroads right now. I'll try to keep the details (relatively) short here. I got my MA last year, and I really enjoyed my coursework and university. I thought about applying to my department's Ph.D. program, but I decided to work for a while before making that big of a commitment. I got a 9-to-5 soon after graduation, but I quickly realized that I had made a mistake and that I wanted to get my Ph.D. I ended up leaving my 9-to-5 recently because I was miserable. So now, I'm stuck in a strange spot. I probably can't start a Ph.D. program in the fall, because most application deadlines have already passed. I've thought about explaining the situation to the grad director in my former department and asking if there is any way I could apply to their program late, but I don't know if they'd let me do that. (On the other hand, I guess the worst they can do is tell me to wait a year?) Obviously I need to be productive if I do have to wait until the fall of 2019 to start a program. So I guess I'd like to know if any of you took time off before your Ph.D.? What did you do in that time period? (There are a lot more details about what I've gone through recently, but again, wanted to keep this as short as possible.)
