Grad school, sooner or later?

I'll be a senior finance student this coming school year. I'm currently an intern in NY and keep getting asked from coworks/bosses etc about my plans for the future. And to be honest i have no idea what kind of shit i want to do. Anyway, they always have all this adive which is completely contradictory. Some analysts tell me to get Grad school over with right after undergrad, others say to wait on it and get some experience. I mean, i enjoy the industry but i dont know specifically where I want to be at, that doesnt mean i should go to school right away instead though...does it? I know it depends on the person, but given the real world finance experience on this site, what makes more sense?
