I feel as though this community should be more active, even though I understand that as graduate students, we seem to have less and less time. I wanted to throw something out to the community- is anybody here an "older" student? I'm one of the oldest students in my cohort, so being in a group of 23yo is somewhat jarring. I've found the adjustment to finally balance out, but with wanting to have babies and progress along the family path, I often have difficulty honestly answering the question, "Where do you want to be in five years?"
Truth be told, I see myself with babies. I'll be practicing, but there's no way I'm pursuing a doctorate in five years or aggressively pursuing my career.
Can anybody else relate to this?
