$32K is a good wage, especially for a single person.  That is basically around what I have made my entire working life and I do alright.  Granted I hope to do a lot better than that this winter when I get my first Engineering gig.

Just don't do it on campus.

Well I think there is probably a wide gap between official school policy and what actually occurs.

Cue fat Americans joke.

You'd actually have to try to make one.

On a different note, median income for a household in Berkeley is 60k and then 18% of population is below poverty line.

Nice to know I would be amongst the rich 50% in Berkeley.

I meant to caveat that with "don't let Max catch you."

That's, what, £20K a year.

Seems pretty low to me. That's pretty much an entry level job in the UK - first year teacher, cop, secretary, assistant shop manager outside of London.

Location, location, location.  Where I live, $32,000 is my annual rent+utilities bill.

No shit.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)
