Which would you choose?

Pretend you are a professor with a lab in which a summer student has tried to apply for the work study program at.

You are now faced with a dilemma.

The work study program has a strict policy that if the program subsidizes $9/hr to the student's salary the minimum wage is $13/hr. This is excellent as all the you'd have to pay is $4 an hour and gives the work study program student a great salary.

The problem is that your graduate student in the lab who's going to be supervising the workstudy program student currently earns $12/hr, and that you were intentionally only going to pay the work study student $9/hr.

The question?:
Option 1. go with the work study program and save money.
Option 2. go with what you feel is the hierarchy of the lab and simply pay the $9 an hour to the work study student.

on a side note... researchers get paid jack shit...

Annoyed...

To keep a long story short.

I feel I'm being used.

Due to some misunderstanding I was apparently the subject of a lot of hate today... which I definitely did not deserve...

:P

on another hand shit's going down with my life... could go well or not so well... who knows ^^ stupid inside car peer pressured conversations -_-

It's been so long and though I've decided to post something.
First of all exams are done and my first year of university has come to an end. I feel i've made some long lasting friendships through my time at science one.

Although we'll all go our own ways from now on, I pray that we'll always keep in touch and to remember one another.

Second of all, I'm really looking forward to this summer as now the pressure of exams and assignments are completely gone ;)

I'll try and keep in touch with this blog more frequently now that I can... but .... probably not xD
