My take-home was $1700-2100/mo after taxes and fees depending on whether I was teaching that semester (teaching paid less). We were paid minimum wage (at the time $15/h in CA) on the basis of 8 h/day, 5 days/wk 52 wks/y lmao. Rent split 4 ways was ~$1500 per person, and that was the lowest of anyone I knew. UC Berkeley.
