This is probably a basic question, but how much do graduate programs typically pay? When I finish my BS (Computer Science), it will have taken about 8 years all told. During this entire time I've been working as a programmer for various posts for the Air Force, so the going has been slow. If I were to want to pursue a PhD in CS, I would only apply to one school that is in the local area (University of Central Florida) because I own rental properties that I don't want to sell. I'm 24 now but I expect to be around 26 by the time I graduate and I will need to maintain some kind of cash flow, although I could survive on less than I am currently earning. edit: probably another basic question but I couldn't find an FAQ. Is it possible to do a graduate program part time and continue to work in order to support yourself? I haven't heard of anything like this but it may be possible.
