When I started in grad school my stipend was $30k. My mom said “wow that’s more than I made in my first job”. Pulling up an inflation calculator, her $30k then was closer to $60k at the time. Many people in this discussion could stand to do the same calculation

How low do you think PhD stipends should be? How do you make sure people from poor backgrounds aren’t driven out? Or should academia only be reserved for people with wealthy parents?

Th PhD conversation comes down to 3 things for me. 1st, if we think research is valuable, then we simply have to pay people to do it, or it won’t be done. 2nd, if we don’t pay enough, only relatively wealthy/supported people will be able to do it. 3rd…

I think a lot of tenured profs don't realize that the main issue that's blocking a lot of your grad students' progress is the crushing weight of poverty, and you should advocate for them to be paid more so that they can produce better research!

[Joshwelt @weltszznn]

I love how study after study shows that students perform better with less homework, while workers are more productive with more vacation time and shorter shifts, yet we continue doing the opposite because of outdated, guilt-driven beliefs that equate hard work with suffering

@Warcraft excitable slime piss

[Morgan Human-Person @PartyHkt]

Yeah baby they unionized

[Nicole Lee Schroeder, PhD @Nicole_Lee_Sch]

"Dont unionize/strike just because other people elsewhere are making less" is a perfect ex of lack of class consciousness in the US. Everyone should be unionized. Everyone should be striking. Workers make gains thru unionization efforts. All of US labor history proves this.
