Anonymous Valentine's Day - Appropriate Quotes from the UW MSTP

"I think this presentation was supposed to teach my what sorts of professional skills I should be cultivating during grad school and med school. What I actually learned was that I need to get a wife who works and will take care of me and any children we have. Then I can be like that guy who gave this talk on how successful he has been since grad school and med school with great thanks to his wife who worked and took care of him and any children they had during that time."

"Yeah, apparently we all need to get a wife. And not just any wife, a wife who works and will take care of us."
