I'm in a PhD program now at a different university. I definitely don't get a team of masters students to run all my experiments for me.

That sure would have been nice. But also I feel like, I should be doing the work. Nothing wrong with a little help from a volunteer assistant but that's different than being assigned 4 masters students to run all of your experiments.

My masters was in the UK. (I'm American). I don't know if that's a normal set up over there or was unusual for UK too.
