  • I don’t buy this as a blanket statement. It highly depends on what sort of educational track you’re pursuing.

    At least in the US, there are many graduate level healthcare degrees out there that require you to pay for them. Yet they net a well paying career. Ex: physician associate, anesthesia assistant

    If you’re specifically referring to research-focused graduate degrees and not job-focused graduate degrees, then I agree with you.


  • Yeah exactly. I get that people are outraged at a lot of things, but I think many people calling for a strike don’t realize what is at stake for a majority of people. You would have to do some serious organization among each individual workplace in order for it to be successful.

    I’m guessing that’s why it seems that many times when I see people protesting or calling for strikes, it seems to be students. Since they often don’t yet have things like a full time job, a family to support, etc. they have far less on the line and far less potential consequences for doing so.

    To be clear, I’m absolutely not against the idea of protesting/striking, etc. I’m just trying to say that it’s a difficult thing to navigate, and not a simple “no brainier” like many people on the internet seem to think it is.
