The opportunity to bang it out in one year is something that shouldn't be passed up lightly. Going back after being out for a while is hard. I'm getting my masters now (graduated undergrad in 2003). It is difficult, but then I'm working and going to school. The one thing going for taking time off and going back is that you are amazingly focused because you know why you are there, but then if you are graduating from Stanford and considering a MS, then I don't think that is really a problem for you. I don't think the MS for you would be as much about career options as it would be being able to get even more in depth with subjects in a way that you really don't get much opportunity to do later in life. At least for me it became become fluent enough in subject n+1 to do task x+1. The queue only gets longer and I never have managed to go back to any one thing that has interested me. |
