Not really worth it otherwise.[/quote]
-1 Williams cs is okay and swat is great for CS PhD[/quote]
Who wants to go to grad school for CS? CS professors are WAY underpaid and the [b]good tech work is done in private industry[/b][/quote]

Yes, with great salaries and research opportunities for people with PhDs..[/quote]

CS PhD is 400k plus right out of school at Meta.[/quote]
If you’re talented enough for meta, you can ditch the PhD and work up with two year job stints and get the same pay without having to experience abject poverty for a degree.[/quote]
phD stipends in STEM are not at all "abject poverty", they run 50-70k if you maximize grant apps. Even masters can get stipends: DS friend at masters in stem at Stanford and gets 65k per year to live off of plus can get more if wants to TA extra. In addition free tuition, fees, health insurance and more. DS is going for phD (applying now, has interviews already) and the job he wants needs phD. All the programs he is applying to are fully funded with very generous stipends guaranteed and many get additional funding. Private sector tech targets these programs for grads to head labs and similar. 300k+ starting, vs same companies pay 110-140k for bachelors from a TOP school(think ivy+ or CMU, UCB, GaTech), otherwise want masters. DS interned for a known tech sector company and the hiring tiers for different degrees as well as what school you come from was eye-opening. [/quote]
Id love for you to try to stretch 65k in Palo Alto. That’s a miserable stipend that’s only that “high” because the area is so expensive.[/quote]

Palo Alto parent checking in. It's hard to make ends meet with even a salary of $200K in Palo Alto. Housing (and food) costs are insane.[/quote]
