- Full Time Unpaid Socialist Activist in Sydney, Australia

 

- Full Time PhD student.

I only get 27 000 AUD a year from my PhD scholarship, and I live in one of the most expensive cities in the world. This is less than the minimum wage for a full time worker in Australia, and is only twice the unemployment benefit.

 

I applied for 200-300 jobs last year, and was only hired to push trolleys at a supermarket chain. It would take be 4 hours of travelling by public transport every day to do that job.

 

This is the reality of modern life for future academics under neoliberalism.

 

If you'd like to buy me a coffee, go ahead. If you can't say something nice, keep quiet.

 

At the very least, just realise that I am not an exception as a PhD student, let alone a philosophy PhD student.
