I didn't know I could talk to professors for this, but it sounds interesting! Thanks, I'm going to try this!

This is probably more important towards the end of your undergraduate studies.

At least in Austria it's quite common to receive a stipend for your masters' thesis (in science/engineering). It's not always enough to fully cover living expenses, but it sure helps a lot (eg. I got 400€ a month while working on my master's thesis).

After that, PhD positions are almost all paid normal wages.
