No. Graduate stuxents doing work towards their PhDs get a salary called a stipend. That will be taxed. And if your employer gives tuition assistance that will be taxed.

It's more than just taxing the stipend. Many graduate degrees are tuition free. The GOP bill proposes to tax the value of that education. So right now, a grad student earns $20,000 and gets and education worth $80,000.

Right now, that grad student, if they have other income will pay on that $20,000. In the future, they would have to pay taxes on $100,000.

So much winning.

And why should the Federal government subsidize your useless Ph.D in epistemological philosophy? MD JD and MBA who take out loans to finance their educations are charged interest on top of being taxed on the eventual income that is then used to pay off loans. If your degree can't handle the cost it takes to get it, then maybe it's not worth our tax dollars either and better for all of us that you don't get it.

Grad students work for their stipends and tuition waivers. They teach discussion sections, labs, help with grading and work research labs. MDs, JDs and MBAs do not work.

OOPS I should add do not work while in school.

omfg, take the political discussion elsewhere.

Not a romantic relationship, but I tanked a HORRID ex-boss's ability to hire a new VP she desperately wanted. I used to work for him, he knew I'd gone to work for this other firm, and he asked me what it was like. Telling the truth and it biting her in the ass felt good.

Also once posted a free jet ski on Craigslist with my ex's phone number. This was 13+ years ago, before you would get nailed in a hot second and have it taken down immediately. Apparently his phone was unusable for 3 days due to the calls. Shitty thing to do, without a doubt, but he was being shady on some stuff. It was stupid though and I wouldn't do it today.

And, with revenge getting more lame as I get older - a neighbor recently tried to tank the sale of my home. Very aggressive, out of the norm (but legal) actions specifically targeted at scaring off buyers (actually would be a fair housing violation if it had scared them off, but that's a different topic). Anyway, he doesn't realize I'm the admin of the neighborhood FB page, which he uses pretty heavily. Him and his cronies who were in on the attempt to tank my sale - all getting perma-banned, and I'm turning the admin position over to someone he hates.

Lame but it will irk the shit out of him.

This is pretty funny.

I did this too. I also filled his amazon wish list with self help books for infidelity (but didn't buy them). (I had his password and this was just subtle enough that he might not know it was me).

Still the same broken, unhappy person inside though. And nothing is going fix that.

Nope, happiest I've ever been. Wish I had never underestimated myself and married so far below my pay grade the first time around.

I do not think you understand how it works. As a grad student, I received a Stipend. I also received a tuition waiver -- that meant I did not pay tuition, which was worth more than my stipend. I never saw the cash for the tuition waiver. I just did not have to pay tuition. Lets say, I was earning 20K, and tuition was 40K. Under the current law, I paid tax on 20k -- my earnings. Under the house bill, I pay tax on 60K, my earnings & the tuition waiver.

Yes, I know how it works. You don't get it. Taxpayers are still footing your bill since you are not being taxed on the 40k worth of education you are getting for free.

You know that people who work for $ get taxed on their earnings right, genius?

I posted a photo of an ex on Craigslist, said I wanted to experience my first time with a man and listed his phone number.

Not in the academic departments where I most recently worked. Most grad students are on either fellowships, or they are on research assistantships which require little or no actual work. Grad students are now expected to finish PhDs in 4-5 years and that isn't possible if they are teaching or doing lots of extraneous research work.

No teaching done by grad students at all. Teaching is done by older professors who no longer have an on-going research programme, or by part-time adjuncts.

Maybe universities should consider not charging so much tuition for something no one is actually paying for.

I completed my PhD in 4 yrs while hired as a teaching assistant and a research assistant. I also was pretty much a single mom the whole time. Granted, I was funded by a PhD research grant, but did not have my tuition waivered.

Ain't that the truth. He showed up begging right after his new flashy fiancee dumped him but I had just met the one. It only took 5 years but hey, I don't remember the painful, celibate 5 years

What's with the hair? Taller and better job resonate with me, but hair just doesn't. Better hair cut, yes. More hair? No.

It's not unusual for women to prefer men who aren't balding.
