I think I'm overpaid as a grad student, too, by the same logic.
It also seems bizarre to me that I'm earning almost the same (once the currency is converted) as I was at home when I was working full-time, and enough that I have to pay back my student loans.
I think comparing myself to grad students in other departments/institutions would just make me feel undeservedly fortunate, too. Although, I might be willing to take a pay cut to have the 6 weeks holiday a year that my friends in the UK get.
Post-docs, however, are underpaid, I think.
