- nostrademons 19y agoOn the order of $15-20K/year. It's hard to save money when you've got a poverty-level stipend.
- ivankirigin 19y agoHis comment implied that grad school is like undergrad where you accumulate lots of debt. 60K debt in student loans from undergrad is a world of difference from "wish I could save more".
- timr 19y agoMy comment implied that there are people who are broke from grad school. Last time I checked my bank account, that's still true.
- ivankirigin 19y agoThe many grad students I've known aren't close to rich -- but aren't broke because of school at all. Most earn ~6 figures when they graduate, unless they go into academia where income growth is slower but benefits are better.
