For those who went to a post-graduate school/degree, what was something about the process which they regretted?
I am a high school junior, and since I don't really know anyone who actually obtained a post-graduate education, I don't know anything about the process and what things are good to do and what things I shouldn't do. I also think that learning from mistakes is a very useful thing to do, whether they're mine or others', so I'm just curious: for people who had a post-graduate education, what was something they regretted? Anything like maybe gap years, something as a post-grad, something as a undergrad, anything.

I hear a lot of times that people who have enough credits to graduate early don't do so because they want to graduate with their class, but does it make sense to do so or not.

How do I find a job post-grad in the political science sector ?
I just recently graduated from UCSB with a political science degree and I am very interested in international relations and community development, but I have no idea where to start, and it seems like the job market is scary. I would like to work for the government, but am considering going to law school as well. I have acquired relatively decent experience throughout undergrad: - I graduated with a 3.7 gpa from UCSB - I worked on a community development research project as a research assistant - I interned for a non profit organization in a position focused around community development and outreach - held a position in my sorority for a year Any tips/tricks/advice on how or where to look for a job?

What would you advise a college senior applying for a Master's or PhD in International Relations immediately after undergrad Is it better to work first? If yes, what jobs in the international relations field pay decently? Personally, I am interested in global politics (especially with a focus on Sub-Saharan Africa), foreign policy, research, and diplomacy.
I am rising senior majoring in International Relations with a minor in Economics. I've been thinking about the Think Tank world because I like doing research but I also like the idea of the foreign service (I still struggle with learning French). I would love to do diplomatic work, maybe more in the political side of things. Sorry if this is all over the place.
