Not just Ph.D. students....masters degree students in the sciences generally get a stipend as well. Back in the 1990s in a cheap area I was making about $20K/year...enough to live on. A lot of Ukrainian girls in those graduate programs in the U.S.

Remind us what you majored in, Jamin? And how's that 14:40 coming?

Depends on the program, but most give stipends of around $20-30k/ year (places with a higher cost of living generally give larger stipends) which is very liveable unless you have kids or are really wasteful.
Places with higher cost of living generally don't give larger stipends actually. See for reference the entire UC system, Stanford, USC.

True. I did my Ph.D. at UC-Not-Going-to-Name-It-Here and my stipend was about $26k. I studied hard, did some extra teaching at a nearby CC and made due.

What's incredible is that the majority of scientific progress is made by people in their twenties making less than minimum wage

Jamin, you sir, are a waste of public fun.
weren't you the one whining about how you got punished for a DUI as badly as someone soliciting a prostitute?
The only thing separating you from manslaughter is blind luck.
most people realize that once they get a DUI, but you seem to be a slow learner. grow up before you kill someone.
"public funds"?? The funds of stanford, harvard, yale, or MIT are not public. Hek the majority of the UC Berkeley funds aren't coming from the public but rather alumni. 0/10 troll attempt.

quit using logic, you are talking to a confirmed idiot with obvious trouble understanding basic concepts.

The funds often come from grants awarded by the publicly funded NSF, NIH, or DOE.
Can you support this with actual facts? Show me some data. Provide a link. Prove your point before pointing fingers; otherwise go away. What percent comes from the NSF, NIH, or DOE? I have only attended top tier schools. I can tell you that money comes from alumni. I can't speak for the rest of you plebs.

I'm at a Big 12 school and I get 14k/year.
Wow. People are really touchy about this subject. It's apparent that you're on to something here. ?

Is there is a way that we can use public funds to get you to stop posting here and seek therapy? That would be beneficial for us all.

Jamin is on something. He is not on to something.

people seem to get all fired up when i tell 'em the earth is flat too! I must be onto something!!! (i'm really smRt at Logics!!)
If you have inclination and have a PhD or did some work on the way to it, you can get a good to very high paying jobs. But the field is limited to mostly STEM.

Ouch..that's rough. . Now I look like an idiot. How livable is it?
Do you get benefits? Are you PhD or a masters student? Where does your funding come from (TAship or RAship)? I was referring to STEM PhDs and I recognize that funding is considerably more limited in other disciplines and at the masters level.

What's he on to, exactly? The notion that we shouldn't fund Ph.D.s and thus voluntarily decrease the number of scientists, scholars and innovators in America? That we should voluntarily make ourselves uncompetitive in R&D relative to the Asian and European powers? Yeah, that guy, he's a smart one.
I got paid when I did mine many years ago. We pay our PhD students - not much, but it's good for room and board. A few have side gigs (one's an Uber driver and another's a bartender.)
