Found this on the neoliberal sub. Just openly whining about how there’s nobody he can talk to about his contempt for unions and worker solidarity.

Average grad pay at UC schools is more like $30k anyway.

Yeah, the only thing provided is tuition. But I think their salary is (was? Idk if trump changed this) tax-free since it's primarily in the form of scholarships. Not a huge difference though, it's the equivalent of what like 36k otherwise?

Oh yeah, the nerd was whining about the job being part time, '50%'. They just structure it like that to keep us out of more benefits. We're actually prevented from working a second job explicitly.
The 'tuition' is kind of an accounting scam by the university anyway. Like I'm a PhD student, and I get charged tuition every quarter. I don't take classes at all. I do research, something that generates value for them directly, and they still charge it, so they can either drain money from the research groups or graciously 'reimburse' it if you work as a TA.
The salaries are normally assistantships, so taxed. Scholarships are also taxed though.
I get 24k lol. It comes with healthcare, which is nice, but it hurts overall lol.
Yeah, the pay is a massive barrier to any potential student with dependents.
that really does suck. are you just funded for the academic year with no summers?
