He had keys to access the building after hours and such and had to do things like lock up rooms with animals so that the cleaning staff couldn't get in and fuck up the ongoing experiments, and that he was basically paid to get his degree--although not much. He still worked side jobs for general living expenses. All this is pretty normal for PhD students. Renraku_San posted... Do we really need a stupid acronym for that? Keep in mind that what precedes it is usually an extremely stressful comprehensive exam which you demonstrate to a panel of experts that you have enough knowledge about a field to continue onwards. This is customizable. I got 4 exams : electrokinetics, neutron scattering, clinical diagnostics, and polymer physics. They tried to tailor mine directly to my research topics. <cite>C7D posted [p:886478067] in My friend ...
