My favorite part of academia is spending a lot of time developing comprehensive and detailed grant proposals that demonstrate I'm doing groundbreaking work but also the grant cannot pay me a stipend of more than thirty thousand dollars
@ingrid my PhD stipend twenty years ago was 14K/year and included a stipulation that I could not have any other jobs. I had a part time job in the library anyway. It was more than I’d ever made in a year. Also that was enough to afford a one bedroom apartment in Philadelphia then. Now I’m just sad about all of it
