[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For at least the next 5 years?  Holy hell.  If I were you, I would set a deadline on when she needs to get a job.  Those phd's are the types to want to go to school for life.

If I were her, I would be searching for a roommate/group house situation and working part-time.  As much as I love my parents, no way would I want to live with them way into my late 20's. [/quote]

Sounds like she is getting a stipend.   Stipends usually go to Stem degrees where student does research in return. She will be plenty busy.[/quote]

Doctoral candidates in humanities programs also typically get stipends, for TAing and to support research. Regardless of her degree program, she'll be busy and stressed. Indeed, humanities programs expect you to distinguish yourself with original research practically from the get-go. [/quote]
It's a PhD in clinical psych and she gets the stipend in exchange for TA-ing and working in a lab.[/quote]

This clinical psychologist echoes PPs who suggest being supportive and treating her like an adult.  It's a grueling, rewarding degree.  And you should be very proud of her: those programs are some of the toughest to get into of any higher education.  All best to her![/quote]
