Our student workers in the library make $15.00 an hour and usually work at least 10 hours per week. So $15.00 per hour x 10 hours x 30 weeks = $4500 per year. Work 40 hour a week during the summer and breaks and Christman say 15 weeks and we have $10.00 x 40 x 15 = $6000. So $10,500 a year.

The $10.00 per hour during the summer in conservative in today’s labor market.

By the way, don’t most doctorate programs offer stipends and tuition waivers?

Yes, good point. Additionally, the US Military runs something called the SMART program. Pays for the whole shooting match, and comes with the stipend you mentioned.

‘course nothing’s free, you have to pay your years back working as a civil servant.
