(please do not include/count your business expenses and taxes). :) XTStrike 04-16-2002, 03:40 PM and i presume all other currencies dont count ? what about options for £ and € etc... ? :rolleyes: mahinder 04-16-2002, 04:05 PM above poll is in US dollars. ($) :) cperciva 04-16-2002, 04:06 PM Where's the option for under $1000/month? Some of us are students, you know. richy 04-16-2002, 04:37 PM hehe comeon doctorate at oxford and your stipends that low?? lol ask for more mate hehe Rebel 04-16-2002, 04:47 PM I don't see an under $1,000.00 option...damn rich people discriminating against the poor college student type... :( Studio64 04-16-2002, 05:15 PM Under $1,000 ? I currently run on $820 month... It's amazing that at $.12 for a pack of Ramen Noodles someone is still making a profit.... richy 04-16-2002, 05:30 PM lol are all students poor?? does working when your a student to earn some notes stop you being a proper student lol. ah well :( i dont think its the student part, its the females and credit cards that bankrupts ya. cperciva 04-16-2002, 05:35 PM Some scholarships stipulate that you're not allowed to take any form of paid employment. richy 04-16-2002, 05:49 PM ahh thats fair enuff then. just have a pet hate about students who complain about lack of money. i knew oxbridge were against students working during their batchellors. but then again they have the pull to demand you all die your hair red and vote monster raving loonie lol. good luck on your doctorate. cperciva 04-16-2002, 05:55 PM Some students -- without large scholarships -- find work, almost always outside of term. Almost all graduate students take tutorials and earn some money that way. As a general rule, oxbridge students are not poor. That said, there certainly are some students who have financial problems... but I can't help noticing that usually the students with financial problems are also the students who drink $200/month or more. phptalk 04-16-2002, 07:29 PM USD 2000 per month! ;) BC 04-16-2002, 07:51 PM Poll has been edited for us poor students :D Rebel 04-16-2002, 09:03 PM Originally posted by BC Poll has been edited for us poor students :D Rock on! :D richy 04-17-2002, 07:24 AM totally agree on the drinking. ive kinda put my 3rd year on indefinate hold (decision made last week lol) because i realised i had too many oppertunities i couldnt turn down and the degree was actually the least useful. students go from such extremes money wise, cos i work long hours i find that its not so much that i earn money its that i dont have the time to spend it. whereas those that dont work, (and arent at a premier uni, i do understand the demands are totally different time wise) have so much time and spare time = spent money.
