  <title><![CDATA[Should Parents Pay for Graduate School?]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Is your student considering graduate school? An advanced degree is a good choice for students in fields that require specialized knowledge or for those who anticipate a career in research or scholarship. Some graduate programs support the students they accept with financial packages and employment in labs or classrooms. Others require a significant financial investment. Pre-Graduate advising is available for students who want to explore whether graduate school is right for them (just choose &ldquo;pre-graduate&rdquo; on GradesFirst at <a href="http://gatech.gradesfirst.com">http://gatech.gradesfirst.com</a>). For parents considering the financial implications of that choice, here&rsquo;s a worthwhile article from <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertfarrington/2014/04/07/should-parents-pay-for-grad-school-too/2/#3b91b7d173a3"><em>Forbes</em></a>.</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
