(Research programmers and post-docs cost about the same.) Given that PhD students have to take classes for the first couple of years and are therefore running at 50% capacity, this means that each effective person in my research group costs on average $100,000 per year.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m from Guatemala. For $100,000, you can hire 4-5 extremely competent full-time engineers there (even accounting for the 50% overhead rate inside CMU). My question today is: would it make sense to take 5 engineers instead of a PhD student next time I have extra money?&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/academia\">academia<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/education\">education<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/funding\">funding<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/economics\">economics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/computing\">computing<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/world\">world<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/business\">business<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/blogs\">blogs<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thevirtuosi.blogspot.com\/2010\/06\/life-as-experimenter-day-one.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheVirtuosi+%28The+Virtuosi%29\">The Virtuosi: Life as an Experimenter &#8211; Day One<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&#8220;I&#8217;m an experimental physicist.  If you think this sounds like a job second in glamour only to rock star you would be right.

Also similar to a rock star, no one really knows what it is we do behind the scenes (when we&#8217;re not touring the nation or publishing papers).
