Jothar, I’m not HSS, but if a spouse is involved in post-grad science research, he’d likely be earning some sort of stipend (especially if he were an American citizen). Also, the post-grad work would probably be helping the student reach his degree, which should increase his earning power to a point where aid from gov’t programs would be unnecessary. If neither condition applies, I would agree that the student should indeed find another line of work/ study.
