Soc Grad Student and Work Study

[chrisblack]

Hey all,

I am beginning my grad career this fall and have received a Federal Work Study offer ($1k each semester).  I certainly would like to accept this offer, but I already have to fulfill TA duties to meet my stipend requirements and am wondering about the workload.  Is it a normal thing for a grad student to TA, FWS, and take classes?  Does anyone here have any experience/advice regarding this?  Hoping that it is manageable and I can accept.

Thanks.  Best to all.

If it's only 1k extra a semester, how many hours of extra work is it? For such a low amount, I can't imagine it's that many hours....

Not sure how many extra hours of work, as positions aren't posted til the semester begins.  That being said, I can accept it without committing (accepting the WS doesn't mean I accept a job).  That will be my course of action.

 

Thanks!
