I know this is "ask the gals," but when I was in grad school, I was poor. I mean, eating government cheese and selling blood, poor. At one point, I briefly wondered if I were a woman, I could earn money for sex!.
Years later, at work, we got talking about jobs we had in grad school. A female coworker "complained" that she had to work as a cocktail waitress wearing a too-short dress. However, she made more in one weekend than I made as a lab assistant.
