Postgrad Perspectives

In a series of interviews, Tufts professors across disciplines and age provided their insight on the post-graduate experience. The Observer asked them the question, “What did you do right after graduation?” and they gave us the following stories. Rest assured, dear seniors. Even professors went through job hunting, relocation, volunteering, and temporary amnesia. The transcripts have been edited for clarity and length.

Despite achieving similar professional positions that stem from a relatively stable series of necessary preconditions (grad school, academic research, etc.), professors nonetheless exhibit a wide array of experiences. In their interviews, each one stresses the benefits of their own path—however meandering it was.
