Sounds productive but that will not end too well unless you can afford a nanny and additional help... think about the time u will need to recuperate after giving birth! What if that is at the time of your internship? You also want to be able to enjoy all the events and have a cocktail of you want to (assuming you do drink). :/

I want to get my PhD, but all of the programs I want require a full time commitment for the first year. What are my options? Is a sabbatical an option? Or would I have to straight up resign? Utilization notwithstanding (I’m a GPS consultant)…is it possible to go part time? I completed my master’s full time while a full time Deloitte consultant. I know school can be done, but for PhDs they usually want you to also work as a TA. Additionally, I am not interested in online programs.
