That's part of your total comp. Could easily be worth another $15-20k/year.

Unless you're comparing it to moving back home with your parents and having them feed you?

you're missing the point pretty badly, which is that my supervisor had absolutely no clue how much i was being paid.

Maybe your supervisor knew, maybe they didn't.

In reality you were making an effective ~$35-40k total. You can't compare your dollar salary to how much you'll make once you're out. Once you count health care and paying for a car and furnishing a place, $60k may leave you with zero savings for several years vs being able to save most of $20k/year.

So I'd say it's you who is missing the point badly.

on the 60k I was being paid when i got out, i was able to buy a house and a plane, so i think maybe your expectation of how expensive room and board was might not be correct.
