“… which doesn’t play out most of the time.”
Do you have any evidence to support that? AFAIK most people I went to grad school with were supporting themselves with the stipend offered by the school, and did not have other work or responsibilities.
I had a great time in grad school and think it was definitely worth it, and you don’t have to be rich to go, but at the same time I wouldn’t recommend it if you have others financially depending on you.
- lazyasciiart 4y agoEven people supporting themselves off grad school are usually not making “about the same as peers who went straight to work”
- DiggyJohnson 4y agoAre you sure you’re not only thinking of CS (and STEM and business) salaries for comparison?
- lazyasciiart 4y agoI’m quite sure. Some specific people I’ve known have included grad students in history and physiotherapy, for example.
