Some people do waste their time in grad school. I had a friend who took out loans to go to Columbia's J-school, went 60k in debt and two years later found himself back in the job he left. He passed up the one offer he managed to cultivate in order to be closer to a woman he dumped a few months down the road.

Years later he's in a job that he could have worked his way into by now, except a large chunk of his (disappointing) salary goes toward his loans.
