[quote=Anonymous]Two PhD family here: I totally agree with the PPs who noted how much of a boost it can be to have professors as parents. All the very successful academics I know have parents who are professors. Interestingly I also see this in the DC academic-adjacent world; I've been around awhile and I now see the adult kids of think tankers and political appointees replicating their parents' careers. It used to be very easy when internships were unpaid and often even not advertised. My kids are probably not PhD types and if they were, I probably would advise against it. I was a research nerd and it's worked out well for me, but for most people a JD or MBA gives you a lot more flexibility and takes less time and deferred income.[/quote]
