      As a grad student mostly. That said, non-tenured professors also have to work their asses off. The pyramid scheme dream is becoming tenured and having a large pool of grad students to abuse help you with your work.

        In Canada, it seems that a lot of departments in my field are purposefully limiting the number of PhD spots available, since there are so few positions for graduates. I wonder if that’s the case elsewhere?

      Professor in 3rd world country. 😂

      Welp. At least here, any gradschool tuition is possible to make living, unlike in North America or Europe. 😂

        Fellowships provide a livable existence in Canada. I don’t know about the U.S.

        There are various routes as a professor here. Some are more difficult than others.
