[quote=Anonymous]I'm a graduate student living on an assistantship that pays for tuition + stipend. I think I'm officially poor! I make do by winning additional scholarships and fellowships and by spending all of my time having absolutely no life (zero, zip, nada) because I'm too busy researching and writing and teaching (teaching's for the assistantship) to shop or do anything else. The additional scholarships and fellowships take a lot of time and energy to craft, so they keep me busy too. Did I mention that I have no life? Good thing I love my research. :) Many of my colleagues, in addition to teaching through the assistantship, tutor and have other part-time jobs. So that's also an option. Long story short: it's doable, OP, but you need to be really seriously committed, especially if you're going for a degree like a doctorate, since it can take years to earn.[/quote]
