I don't know how many people say, "Oh, if I don't find a job I'll just go to grad school." This is a poor decision although it may work out in the end for some. Grad school is tons more work than undergrad, costs lots more unless you can get a graduate assistant position or other funding, and will not be very enjoyable if you enrolled simply because you gave up on the job search. Oh, and you still will have to search for a job in another year, and another degree still doesn't guarantee that you will easily find a job. Most companies will pay for you to go back to school while working part-time. It's a little benefit you will see as "continuing education" when you are applying for jobs. Especially for those considering an MBA, I have heard from everyone who is older than me that the experience working full-time and gaining real business experience makes it a much more rewarding experience. Eveyone who goes straignt to MBA programs after undergrad studies are dedicated, no doubt, but they lack any real experience other than a possible internship. It would be beneficial to have something to back up what you reading in textbooks. Bottom line, giving up on the job process and going to grad school simply because you did not get a job is weak sauce. Go to grad school if you really want to and had no intention of working right after college. Otherwise, keep using the campus career resources, even after graduation, and you will eventually find a job.
