Subject:Real world vs. grad. school
I would suggest that she aim for both. Many graduate
programs have cooperative education programs that
allow a student to gain experience while pursuing
a graduate degree.
I've found candidates with coop experience combined
with graduate degrees often make a very successful
transition into the workplace.
