some insight for prospective/current PHD students [thread]: I have a lot undergrad debt, no choice. got into a funded PhD I was relieved. But what isn’t explained to a 1st gen scholar of color is to get CV lines, go to conferences, give talks, etc, requires ALOT of extra money.

I hope it can be a roadmap: a way to strategize, to plan accordingly, to find other avenues & resources for help. Cause you should pursue the PHD if you feel it is what is right for you. Just know there’s so much more work to be done to make it viable. :)

I thought off the bat that a fully funded PhD program would make it worth going. This post really opened my eyes and will make a big difference for my choices. Especially about interest accrual during the PhD process, should I pursue that.

Thank you. MA is where all of this hit.
Even w/funding, still had to pay all living expenses for me & fam, and somehow get name on conference programs and then actually show up! Worked FT and took loans that I hope expire when I do
