"Well, I should be very happy about the money I received from school as a researcher because it is free tuition for science major to attend graduate school. I do NOT believe that this is underpaid or overpaid. I know that once I graduate from school, I will be getting paid more than school. For this reason, I think it was actually an awesome opportunity to study and earn money to be a researcher in university."
