My first day of law school orientation I remember sitting there thinking, “I’ll NEVER be able to do this.” I was so scared. Apparently a lot of other folks felt the same way, since 8 people (out of a class of 135) quit that day. I felt the same way the first month and a half, sitting in class, and nothing seemed to make sense. Then one day it all clicked.

Sounds like you have the same jitters.

“Will I ever be able to go to grad school in the future if I drop out?”

A guaranteed admission is worth more than the possibility of one in the future (bird in the hand kind of thing). But if you are thinking of applying again at the same school it could seriously hurt your chances.

With regards to your boyfriend situation. Long distance relationships can be rough but they can work out. My girlfriend (now my wife) lived 500 miles away for over a year. If this is just a boyfriend I wouldn’t be making major life decisions like this around him- boyfriends (just like girlfriends) come and go.

Do what is best for your future. No more, no less.

I’m doing the same thing. Doing a year of graduate education, attempting to be employed by a company and hopefully they will help pay for my continuing education.

It’s actually a common practice. Yes, you will be able to get back into school. But you’ll have some real-world application behind your coursework and with that a greater understanding. Also, if you are worried, get a full-time job and do your course work part-time. That would keep you in school and at a good paying job.

Are you really worried about grad school or about your boyfriend? I think if you drop out of the PhD program, it is hard to get back in. I dropped out of grad school without finishing and it took me 35 years to go back.

Has your bf committed to you? If not, don’t give up grad school so fast.

depends on what type of job you can get now vs with a grad degree…which would make you happier and more fulfilled?

and $$$ does not always mean happiness
