But I never meant to say my experience generalizes. I simply meant my statement to provide a counterpoint, that the points brought by the OP are not generally true.
I agree that the US "in general" (again simplified) seems to be worse regarding PhD pay, but AFAIK there are significant variations across fields even in the US (i.e. engineering PhD students get paid significantly better than most others for example).
- scott_s 5y agoYes, engineering PhD students get paid significantly better in the US. It's still very low compared to what people can get with a normal full-time job, and few people would be comfortable supporting anyone but themselves on it.
