My grad school stipend was ~$500 every two weeks pre-tax. I worked like crazy. The football coach made ~250k. I now make over 5 times that.. after taxes.
When I left grad school I found many of it's problems present in the corporate world; except that now, compensation is commiserate with responsibility.
- bsder 11y agoCommensurate, not commiserate. You commiserate (sympathize) with the author's plight. And now your compensation is now commensurate (measurably equal) with your responsibility.
- sporkenfang 11y agoHow long did it take you to get your degree, and how many papers did you write to do it?
- rifung 11y agoSorry I have to ask; what do you do that nets you 1.25m after taxes? And does that include shares?
- gjm11 11y agoI'm going to guess he meant 5x the $500/2w he was getting as a grad student, rather than 5x the $250k/year the football coach was getting.
