[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why supposed liberals are so enamored of cheap or "free" grad student labor, I'll never understand. Grad students should be paid a living wage.[/quote] I do advocate for grad students to be paid a living wage, and even if/when they do, they would still be cheaper than workers in industry. Nice straw man though. -A researcher who was paid a living wage, with no TA requirement, during graduate school, and now trains graduate students who end up in academia and industry. [/quote] You're talking out of both sides of your mouth. You say you advocate for them to be paid a living wage: that means they are not typically paid a living wage. You say "if/when" they do: that also means they are not typically paid a living wage currently. I'm genuinely glad it worked out for you (and a few others), but don't expect me to cheer the current system that screws starry-eyed grad students. This is a real problem, not a "straw man." [/quote]
