Re: About starting
That sounds like a very good new plan.
I really, really enjoyed grad school. I got to choose what to focus on and what classes to take. It didn't hurt that I got paid (modestly) to do it. BUT, I can't really encourage anyone else to do it right now unless there is some real, non-speculative career benefit to an advanced degree. My MA is the only thing more worthless than my JD is going to be, and that is pretty fucking worthless. So when you're thinking about doing an MS or whatever in Comp Sci (surely you are not thinking about a PhD right now) consider carefully whether there is a tangible career benefit to doing it immediately after you finish your first degree. Would getting that MS now qualify you for a job that you couldn't get with a BS? If not, don't do it now. Do it later. GRE scores are usually good for 3-5 years. Get a job and hold the fuck on to it.
