  • For Fellow Graduate Students

    And those considering grad school:

    This is all very, very true. But the article doesn't mention the lack of support outside academia, because you're "just a student". Or putting up with students who don't respect you because you're "just a TA". None of what you do is seen as 'real work'. You get paid just enough to not qualify for food stamps or any other kind of support, but not quite enough to pay bills. It can be very frustrating.

    My God, someone finally gets it.

    This is why I plan on working full-time when I start my Master's. God bless you for all you have to put up with!

    Of course, there's always those people with Mom and Dad footing the bill, but I can't even go there.
