Going to Graduate School Is a Better Choice
If given two options after graduation, that is, to take a job in a company or to go to a graduate school, I'd prefer the latter.
First and foremost, it is widely acknowledged that a higher level of education means better payments and more opportunities in the future in China. Therefore, I think another two or three years' investment in graduate education must be worthwhile in the long run. Secondly, I love my major and have a strong desire to further my study so as to deeply explore some academic issues in this field. Finally, the job market for undergraduate students is too competitive for average students like me to find a satisftying job. Thus, it would be a better choice if I could obtain a master's degree.
Considering the three reasons listed above, I would choose to go to a graduate school after graduation to earn a better future.
