I wrote a master's level thesis for part of my requirements for graduating with honours in my undergrad program. I studied the comparative developmental growth economics of Spain and Romania. It was about 160 pages and I worked on it for a year. My university didn't have a very good library so I traveled to UVA every weekend to use the Darden library. Unfortunately I don't speak Romanian and I didn't know anyone who did. I translated my source records with my knowledge of French and a Romanian-English dictionary.

I wanted to do Haiti and the Ivory Coast; the reasons why one is a relatively wealthy nation and the other a piss pot are really interesting. My adviser insisted on Spain and Romania. At the end of the process he finally told me why: He had chosen to leave Spain and Romania out of his dissertation because he couldn't afford a Spanish translator and spoke neither French nor Romanian! In short: He found them too difficult to research so he left them out of his own studies. I'm a foot note in his larger volume of work even though I did the work for 2/5ths of it.

I also got shafted doing the research on a federal grant for another professor. He got a grant to study the correlation of interest rates and deficit spending under Reagan. I did all of the programming to hit federal data bases and had to travel to Va Tech for several weeks my senior year. Fucker only paid me $400 - which didn't cover my costs. His grant was for $25,000. I'm a footnote there, too. At least he did his own writing and just used my work for reference.
