What made you want to apply to grad school?

[Bianca]

my undergrad studies were in Psychology from a university in a small country in South Eastern Europe. now I'll be studying sexuality in the Human Development dept at Cornell. I'm not yet sure what exactly I'll be researching, I'll obviously study it from a developmental/social perspective. I'll probably start with sexual orientation (since both my past research experience and my future advisor's interests are in this area), but I wouldn't wanna limit my carreer to sexual orientation only.

Why graduate school? I have a fairly useless undergrad degree, no desire for a real job (all my classmates do investment banking and consulting; I'd rather be dead), and tons of academic interests that I haven't pursued yet. Oh I considered going for a second BA then realized that that would cost money (though maybe not if I could get in under either Stanford or Harvard's new free college for low income families program). But seriously, I want to learn. I love taking classes and doing research and by studying sustainable development in the third world, I have a chance to actually make a difference and that's important to me. I could never get a good job with an NGO or any branch of the UN without a master's degree and some work experience so I'm getting the MA now. Oh yeah, I want to be a professor some day so I'll get that PhD.
