@ThePhDPlace A senior female academic once said to me: ‘My academic career has taken many things from me: money, stress, time, and other things. But I will never let it take my family and my children away from me’ …and so she did all these things like marriage, children, during her PhD

Anonymous Question: “So, she popped the question and were engaged. But, should I wait until my PhD is over before getting married? Would love to hear from others in this situation.”
