Look for the Union Label

I've figured it out. Grad school is not like a regular school. It's more like belonging to a union. In regular schools--from kindergarten to college--you learn things from teachers. In grad school, you have to pick up tricks of the trade from your fellow students. There exists a "grad school way of doing things," but nobody tells you what it is. You have to pick it up through experience.


Also, if you blab to the wrong people, you might get your kneecaps bashed in with a tire iron. Just a friendly warning.
