Reply to comment by 99centstalepretzel in Striking Temple University graduate students overwhelming vote down proposed contract by diatriose

Couldn't agree more. This is also the reason there is so little diversity in academia, if you come from low income or working class family, these degrees are about 5x harder and take more time to become "profitable" in the long run. It's a combination of indentured servitude and professional hazing.

The whole "groveling as a form of hazing, and we hate you until you're utterly broken, and then *MAYBE, JUST MAYBE* we'll love you" straight up killed me.

I came up from one of the worst school districts in the area, and you want me to do WHAT? FOR WHY???????? Oh, bitch, you wouldn't last a second in a middle school fight, you can't be talking to me like that.
