Will you do TA for this amount of money? on PostgraduateForum.com

So there's this teaching assistant position available and it will pay $30 per hour. But, you can only work maximum 5 hours per week. So that means $30 * 5 * 4 = $600.

Would you do it?

It's not much money, so it really depends upon how much you need. Do you have other stipend or grant money coming in? If not, are the TA hours flexible and/or leave enough room to earn money doing something else? Also, is a TA position something that will help your CV? Will you get to teach some classes, or will you be spending a lot of time photocopying?

Not really. I'm not sure about the TA hours; need to check with the school. I think it will! According to the jobs specs, the only job that I would be doing is teaching.

Thanks for the reply : )
