For curiosity’s sake, how much an hour do you get, and what school? People have tried to argue this before. I am at dal and we need to complete TA hours as part of our degree requirements, and although there is fulfilment in the job, the labs (for the most part) are structured poorly/out-dated and we are most definitely short-changed for the effort we put in to making sure things run smoothly. If I TA’d the full year (summer included) I would likely be able to make just over 5k, but very few people do this at our school as there are not many summer sections available for those who want to TA to make extra cash.
