Agreed. I've got a few friends who got their PhD's and one of them made
a little money on the side playing the stock market (risky, but Tim's an
outstanding maths guy and good at research - and he took quite a while to
get his doctorate, at that), but generally it was a full-time job paid
for by grant money, like you said.

jerks in the company he works for who happen to be based in the US.
