OK, so like your graduate student test.
Your graduate student is in graduate school.
So somewhere along the line, he knew that he needed to go to graduate school.

And then we just work backwards.
I talk to my students and I tell them, hey, you look like you like nice things.
So let's just talk about what your life is going to be like after college.
And then I'm like, OK, well, let's talk about what that's going to cost.
