Many graduate students lucky enough to get accepted to a graduate school get most or all of their tuition waived and get paid a pittance to teach... in return the university gets people to work around the clock to assist in research, and teachers for classes.

As a Grad student in the late 1990's I made - in the best years MAYBE $18,000 out of which I had to pay rent, living expenses and buy textbooks... I worked many 24 hour or longer shifts in the lab... taking a second job was NOT possible if I were to do my graduate research and attend classes...

The proposed tax plan will now tax these students for the amount of tuition waived by the schools- this will now make it impossible for many students to consider grad school...

How will reducing the number of trained PhDs Make America Great Again?
