- Graduate studies can be and will be tough. There will be numerous dead ends, frustrations, hardware and software that does not work the way it should, countless deadlines, and sleepless nights. On the other hand, there will be a lot of rewards - in the joy of making lifelong friends, mastering new skills, discovering new findings, and helping others. Perhaps the best way to close this column is with something I once heard attributed to Stu Card, a pioneer in the field of human-computer interaction: "Grad school will be the best years of your life. Having said that, get out as soon as you can"
