Thank you for your response. Contrary to what you may think I appreciate any and all input I can get on this decision. As I stated before I currently work in graduate admissions which makes the siren song of the academic experience much harder to ignore. I hate working and miss school which is further aggravated by spending my days reviewing graduate applications for admission. Carving out my niche is seeming like a bigger problem than I had anticipated so I will just continue to research and pray I get struck by intellectual lightening.

In the process of brainstorming for my SOP for graduate school I realized that I can't seriously think of anything that I enjoy enough to write a 100+ page dissertation on. My question to this forum is: Am I the only one? I can't imagine that I am but..... Graduate school is nothing like undergrad in that its not like I have two years to "find myself" and pick something I am competent enough in to graduate. If I am going to invest all of this time and energy, not to mention competing with scores of likewise bright youth for 4 or 5 spaces in a PhD or M.A. program I had better have picked something I really enjoy doing. All of this to say does anyone else feel this same sense of overwhelming uncertainty?
