<p>Not necessarily true. Getting paid to do grad school all depends on the type of program (Masters/PhD/Post Doc) you are getting, and what kind of work you are doing. If you’re doing heavy research work with good funding, it’s possible that they will pay you (in terms of a fellowship/TA type job on top of class and research). They might pay tuition, but it’s not always the case. A lot of schools don’t give first year/second year students funding. I’m saying this after researching into a BUNCH of engineering grad schools (where it’s almost typical to get funding and scholarships) and noticing that quite a few actually…don’t.</p>

<p>My friend is a senior in Bioinformatics. He currently researches on campus and already got offered a kick-butt internship for the summer at a company in Ohio. It’s definitely a good field to choose!</p>
