I'm currently making $24K as a grad student. Ain't nobody asking me shit!

The social contract:

"You get nothing. Work or die. Sleep in the barracks/pod. Eat the bugs."

Which sounds... I dunno, why? If that's the deal I'm offered I have a few questions: why do I care about your laws, your social mores, even you saying you own shit, right?

And whenever I ask them, I get the shit beaten out of me.

That’s what I made as a grad student ten years ago, damn.

And yet, that was still the most I’d ever made in my life at that point.
