Graduate Student with Teaching Assistant Duties at Florida State University

Graduate research assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Serving as a teaching assistant was an excellent experience, serving as affirmation of concepts learned as an undergraduate student. I liked how the teaching assistant duties did not seem to get in the way of my graduate research and my course work.

Cons

Very few complaints here. Graduate school is a personal investment in your future. You have to be prepared for the commitment and sacrifices.

A good experience when you are a graduate student

Graduate student

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

As a graduate student, you can get paid as a teaching assistant (TA), research assistant (RA), a consultant, or a grader. Depending on what you want to do, funding and availability, you can choose how much you want to work besides your classes.

Cons

If you are a TA be prepared to deal with some rude undergrads at times. Also, there is little to zero funding for the summer semesters so be prepared to find a job during the summer so that you can keep paying rent. If you are an international student you should have savings or work with some professors that have grants because after your 1 summer there is virtually no chance of ever teaching during the summer. Also Tallahassee is horrible specially if you have allergies.
