The grad-student experience

Stephanie Turner *04 was overly restrictive in her description of Princeton graduate students as “future professors in training” in a letter to PAW (Oct. 5). Although many of us have made or are making careers in colleges and universities, a large number of graduate students pursue other paths in govern­­ment, the private sector, elementary and secondary schools, and nonprofit organizations. I think we need to keep this fact in mind when discussing any aspect of graduate education at Princeton.
