ABSTRACT
Beth, an undergraduate psychology major at the college where I teach, is sitting in my office. We are having the 17th in what will turn out to be a long series of discussions on the topic, “What should Beth do after college?” Beth is pretty sure she wants to go to graduate school, but she’s not 100% certain of her decision yet. Moreover, she has a million questions, doubts, and worries. Is she good enough to get in? Where should she go? In what area within psychology should she specialize? What are her job prospects when she gets out of school?
