In discussing our next project with those around me, I have received responses to the effect of:
"Grad school just costs more money"
"I have heard that the income difference between those who went to grad school and those that just obtained a 4 year degree isn't enough of a difference to make me want to go to school longer"
"Haven't you been going to school long enough?"
"What is grad school?"
You get the picture.
I have a pretty big hunch that this project is to open us up to the idea of going to grad school and what our options are. I think we should also have a page that brings up the question of why you should attend grad school. Kind of an FAQ page for responses like I received above so that students like myself that haven't even thought about grad school won't immediately be turned off from other people's theories on the subject.

You are absolutely right: I think a FAQ page would be a great idea, and it should be well-balanced. I would be the first to admit that grad school ain't for everybody. But it is also the case that there is relatively little known about it by undergrads, so putting some info out there is a great idea. Way to go!
