How do you know when grad school is the decision you should make?

I just graduated from undergraduate in 2020 and I'm already feeling kind of stagnant. I miss university and I want to be learning more than I am. Maybe it's the job I'm at or who I'm with relationship wise, but I just have been thinking maybe I should try the whole grad school path. My undergrad is in computer science with a minor in math. 


I don't know where I would want to start. What path of computer science I should head down. I feel like I'm lost in a world of craziness.

honestly if you can afford it + you enjoy learning + the structure of learning you should. i went to grad school straight out of my undergrad bc i can’t do anything with my degree really. thing is costs a lot so like, depending on what you wanna do or how much time you have between wanting to start grad school and now i would recommend figuring out what you enjoy and then do a lot of external work in that field or like hobbies etc to look like you have a strong focus so you can get scholarship money. im speaking from a social sciences perspective so might be different for computer science…also I m pretty sure all u need is a degree for a lot of non science grad programs if you don’t feel like going back to compsci
