Abstract: Should I full-time job first after graduation, or go to graduate school? This study aims to explore the influence of self-management (measured by self-awareness, emotion management, and time management) and career planning (measured by exploration, planning, development, barrier of career, social expectation, and employability) for graduate school freshmen on their practicability. The study employed quantitative research to analyze survey questionnaires between 2016 and 2018 from a private postsecondary institution. A total of 387 effective samples were analyzed. Analytical techniques were employed including descriptive statistics, t-test, and Pearson's correlation analyses. Findings suggest that the effects of students' self-management and career planning were significantly associated with their practicability. In addition, students with full-time job were found to be significant than those full-time student populations. Based on the results, implications are drawn from theory, policy and research.
