starting a family with a career in academia

<p>lol, I think the answer is, just as many people who find future partners in highschool, or in college.</p>

<p>People meet people not through one medium only. In college, you meet people through clubs, sports, friends, etc. I don’t think it changes much in grad school. If you’re planning on confining yourself to your lab for the next 5 years and being a total outcast to everyone outside that environment, then maybe your chances of finding someone is slim.</p>

<p>so in that respect, I didn’t know that “finding someone” became such an issue, just because you’re in grad school! Those phd comics aren’t completely non-fiction you know…;)</p>
