Most grad students I’ve met are just very economically privileged and don’t need to work. Most aren’t there to do serious research to advance their career. It’s just undergrad 2.0

Yeah, the most common situation I've noticed is kids are graduating, and just don't know what they want to do yet or aren't ready to join the workforce, so they default to staying in school longer.
