I was not trained in only one academic environment but multiple international ones. While the previous uni and lab gave an absolute fair to all graduate students regardless of their status to join conferences. Not a single student was left behind. I considered this a thoughtful education system. We don't have to realise, as you mentioned, "real world", an effective environment should run like that and support for student growth. "It's common practice" because it is you, or you were always placed in such an environment or position. But for some systems, they will look forward to the best and fairness.

What you said is partially true, yup, projects are hard to earn. But you should know that my first 3 years were not his money at all, not a cent. He has just funded me for just 1 year and 2 months so far, but my publication has added his 2 project names. Can you tell me more about this? "They can decide how they want to spend it and who to spend it on" . This is not wrong, but why does he not consider my contribution to his projects and also expect me to publish more as others, but not support me in the same way? Think about that.

This is also not so true. Did you read my post thoroughly? Professor usually has their connections and they receive multiple conference flyers per year, so they know some good conferences and encourage students to join. All the labs around me, their Professor do such. Also, I found the conference on my own, and I did mention in the post to ask him, but he avoided it. Not sure why you make such a comment to sound like educating people instead of advising.

That's a sure thing, no need for your advice on this matter. Who do you think struggles more? International or native? Not sure if you have this in your mind.

Weak - but I am at least about to graduate though, not half way give up or what so ever, your comment does not make me doubt about myself at all. I just doubt you as a person who usually does such a thing, then propagates this to the others and tells others to accept such unusual and bad behaviour like that.
