I read a great book a number of years ago (can't remember its title) that essentially said that the majority of people who go on to Masters and PH.D programs aren't quite sure what to do with life. I have 3 degrees: B.A. and two Masters. Only the second Masters degree was planned with knowing what I wanted to do with it (clinical counseling). Here are some other things to ponder:
1. Schooling extends the adolescent issues of finding oneself. You are now facing life that is demanding adult choices. School has a tendency to place that to the side -- but its rapidly becoming not to the side now. You are being forced to face life issues that were once placed on hold.
2. I also suggest perhaps looking into a Masters program of something that truly interrests you. There is absolutely nothing wrong with more school.
3. I learned this the hard way in my first Masters program: It certainly isn't like the college/university years. The fraternal aspect is lacking considerably. There *will* be changes.
Don't know if this helps, but I do speak from personal experience.
