[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Most of the people in masters and PhD programs I know in stem their research assistantships gave them free tuition and some even housing stipends, that's a pretty good wage. Not to mention it also gave them experience and mastery under the guidance of mentors.  [/quote]

No it's f**ing not. Give me a break. [/quote]

My husband is a md/phd, the government paid all his tuition and he got a yearly stipend.  It was a very good deal for him.[/quote]

That does sound good. I support that 100%.  What kind of program? [/quote]

This is basically all NIH supported graduate education. See, this is how I know that you don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah, you're right. My mistake. This kind of funding applies to most grad students, not just a well-funded minority. Being a grad student in the U.S. is generally a very good deal.[/quote]
