Then you're laughably out of touch. Chemistry graduate students, for example, are expected to work in the lab anywhere from full time to 80 hours/week and a typical stipend is between 20 and 30k/year, typically on the lower end. Insurance is frequently done through the school, and at private universities at least is 1. bad coverage 2. expensive as gently caress. Try telling someone who's working monday-saturday 8-8 to get a full time job. There aren't enough hours in the week for fucks sake.

I had a full time job with health insurance when I went to college. I guess I just don't understand.

 PhDs in science should not be pursued by most people because it's 'fiscally irresponsible'. Tell me more about how only the sons and daughters of privilege should be allowed to pursue a PhD  gently caress you and gently caress your bootstraps nonsense. Do you seriously believe everyone is a temporarily embarrassed millionaire who just hasn't unlocked their ~~full potential because you obtained your degree during a time when it was actually possible for non-educated persons to have decent full time jobs? Is it reasonable to expect every single person to only pursue "responsible" jobs (whatever that means, presumably STEM)? If every single person switched to what you consider a valid field, there won't be any more jobs yet there will be millions more people looking for jobs. You're either an elaborate troll or a stereotypical ignorant Gen Xer. Edit: hold on, creating the "purge the poors from PhD progams pogrom", or P5 for short Edit Edit: Man things just aren't the way they used to be, must be because of all those drat lazy millenials and not systemic problems with our society. If only they could bootstrap harder
