      I had to work as many hours as I could each summer to make it through the coming school year. I had roommates and peers tell me they were "poor" because of how limited the amount of money their parents gave them each month while I was trying to decide how to make sure I 3/10

      Having no family security blanket pushed me into a non-academic consulting position. While I do currently love my job, I still imagine the impact I could have had on trainees from similar backgrounds, but I simply couldn't risk my own financial stability for such an uncertain7/10

      Wow this really blew up! To add that y'all need to be more careful in your wording about how much STEM PhDs are paid. I remember seeing things like "taken advantage of" while I made more than my mom who is a nurses aid in a nursing home. Shows the respect for working class people

      Thanks for sharing your experiences with this. I think that first gen stories really highlight a lot of the problems with the college experience. I’m glad you got funding too! I wish funding was the norm where I’m doing mine, it would be more money than I’d ever earned in a job.
