Great pay and experience!

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay and great experience. The schedule is rather flexible because you are a student. If you need time off to work on school work, the professors will work with you. The work can also be very self-paced. If you are grading papers, you can work at your own pace as long as you work within the professors parameters. The pay is very nice. You get paid once a month and it is around $20 an hour. You also receive a credit for half tuition.

Cons

The work can be very intense one week and very light the other. Sometimes the professors can be very vague in what they want you to do. It can be frustrating but well worth it in experience.

Tech is a great employer for grad students.

Graduate assistant

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

There are not many employers in Lubbock that can compete with Texas Tech when it comes to flexibility of schedule and opportunity. As a graduate student, there are plenty of internships, GA positions, and research assistant positions available. Also, the opportunities are pretty limited if you do not work for Tech. Unless you enjoy waiting tables or answering phones in a call center, there aren't many other large employers in Lubbock.

Cons

The only downside is there may not be a job specifically supporting what you are studying, so you may end up with a job that has little to nothing to do with what you are studying.
