Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 3929834, member: 1026"] Presumably undergrads don't spend near the time in the lab vs grad students, that's why their situation is more comparable to athletes. And grad students already have a marketable skill (like athletes do). The analogy is decent in that students generally pay for college via $ and time; they do this in order to get the best next job. College sports certainly help get that next job in both skills and exposure, the same way that working in a lab might. But again I think potentially contributing to a product or future valuable patent is vastly different than being the current product. [/QUOTE]
