Graduate school, like anything, has its occasional rough spots. You may have questions about meeting program requirements, your funding situation, working with an advisor or in a research group, or getting a job after grad school. Most graduate students get frustrated with their research at times, and many graduate students wonder if they should stay in graduate school when things get difficult. There are a number of people that you can talk to who can help solve your problems or gain perspective. The most important thing is to talk to somebody when things are going badly, even if it is just a friend or family member. Graduate school only becomes harder if you isolate yourself.
