Yep. The people who advocate this interface are consumers only. They don't produce anything on the computer where you are going to need to spend a lot of time typing, etc. I do work. I want a decent interface. That's not touch.

No, it's not. It's the maximum the NIH will directly pay the PI for the postdoc position. PIs discretionary funds, departmental, or institutional funds are often added to boost the salary of folks in competitive areas. I know many folks paying their post docs well above that. Just because you don't know any, doesn't mean it doesn't happen, or isn't common.

Everyone I know in STEM that paid is a foreigner. I'm in the Bio field. All U.S. born grad students in the universities I'm familiar with had their tuition paid and received a stipend from the university or a training grant they were on. They didn't make a lot, but none paid for classes at all.

Really? Then how do I know several that make well over 60k? How did I know postdocs 10 years ago that made 60k?

With the right skills in the right area, yes, you can make that at a good research university. One in the midwest with decent cost of living even.

Heck, NIH funded postdocs start at over $39K, with 0 years of experience. Work in a competitive area and your boss will throw in money above that.
