This conversation offers helpful takeaways for anyone considering grad school, particularly in terms of how it can support long-term career goals.Finally, they talk about the reach and impact of Grad School Buddy, from our growing listener base to our pioneer set of undergraduate ambassadors,  and how we’re helping fuel both their personal and academic growth.This episode is a reminder that there’s no one way to do life or grad school, and we’re glad you’re here.Co-hosts: ebelechukwu monye and Chukwuebuka AmajiIf you enjoyed this episode, turn on notifications so you don’t miss more grad school stories and resources. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1901711/open_sms">Send a message or comment to Grad School Buddy</a>
