Hi everyone,
This may (or may not) be a silly question to ask but I figured I would throw it up on here and see where it takes me. I'm a senior ME major and I am currently looking into and applying to MAE (ME/Aerospace) PhD programs and I was wondering if it would be possible/realistic to take care of my dog while being full time in a PhD program.
I understand that being full time in a PhD program is a huge commitment, as is taking care of a pet (although different in magnitude), but I feel as though these two are something that I would be able to handle together. Most people I ask in person seem to tell me that it is not realistic to really do both and while I see that point, part of me hopes it's not fully true. If anyone has experience or advice with this situation I would love to hear your input.
Thanks for the help, I feel kind of silly for posting this lol
