Grad School

Grad school is a place where pretentious, socially awkward people say "research" when they mean "reading" and pretend that "academic" is a compliment. It's an OK place to spend a couple of years if you have $20,000 and you like watching young nerds fawn over old nerds like they're movie stars.

I'm an international student, so I'm actually paying $15,000 a year, but I'm hoping a T.A. position will cover some of that next year. Knock on wood.

Just be glad you didn't go to law school where tuition is a whopping $42,000 a year and there are no TA positions.

$42,000? Holy shit you could've gotten a Mercedes, joined a fancy dating club and gotten hitched to a rich guy for about that amount.

And let's not forget...that's $42K per year for three years plus the cost of living in NYC. Fun!
