More or No More?
Very often i get new emails from scholarship opportunities. Normally i just ignore them to focus on my main task now...but wait a minute, i've spent 1.5 years purposely looking for my man without paying attention to anything else and here i am still alone lol.
Is it ok to pursue a phd degree before building up my own family? Is my physical health good enough to be a mother of many kids after a few more years of doctor study? Do men want to get married to a woman who studied too much? (Most Asian men wouldn't) but i just care about western men lol.
40/60 is go/no go ratio. Still a question maintained in my mind. I want to learn more but there are more things to care for...
Anyone has experience of applying for phd scholarship?

There is no guarantee if you meet someone, have kids etc. that this will be forever. You might need to fend for yourself and your kid(s) at some stage.
The better your qualifications, employment opportunities and income, the better.
Would it really bother you if a guy wouldn't be interested in an educated women?
Do your own thing and don't try to please someone all the time. Being educated and independent will get you more respect than being a clingy walkover imo.
My sister was five year younger than me and the whole thing had changed, study was the thing for girls.
You maybe could right lists of fors and against and then see how you feel.
Never easy these crossroads in life.
Wishing you luck with your lists.
Many people here get married/have kids whilst doing their PhD.
I would never put my life on hold 'purposely looking for a man'.
Life goes on.
Most men would prefer a woman who is living life to the full rather than hanging around waiting for a partner to fulfill them in some way.
yeah sure.. women can do that. If it's a guy, then he gets dumped all the time because he's too busy too often. First hand experience.
Women! you girls can be a real bad bunch!

I agree with most of the people here. You should go ahead and get the PHD or whatever you want! The longer you wait, the easier it will be to never pursue it! I am much older than you and I know if I had some things to do over again, I would pursue those ambitions! JMHO!
Do it while you are young dear, now is better than later believe me.
