Taking time off, grad plans for future...is that ok?

Post by limbophysics » Sun Oct 25, 2009 11:49 am

Hi everyone,

I just graduated with a BS in physics this past May (2009) and am currently looking for a job, hoping to find something in research but prospects are not looking good. I think I'll probably end up working as a paralegal or something for two years while studying to retake the GRE.

Is that an ok thing to do? I mean paralegal work is pretty much just punching holes in papers and making photocopies....so it doesn't show much initiative or anything. On the other hand, maybe grad schools admissions won't really care....

Thanks!
