It's quite different to be anticipating #phdchat in the evening at my desk instead of early

As ex FT academic now FT Phd I suggest research work rather than teaching - the

semester timetables mean less weeks with pay #phdchat 2/1/2012 9:03:25

thesiswhisperer @ana_adi timely - thanks :-) #phdchat 2/1/2012 9:03:53

I asked the library to but a book I wanted instead of buying it myself, and they have.

#phdchat 2/1/2012 9:04:38

ana_adi @thesiswhisperer not planned though. good luck! :) #phdchat 2/1/2012 9:04:39

@thesiswhisperer not sure i have a tip. yet. just getting started and in a FT uni job.

thesiswhisperer @HelenHickson welcome - I have only done one before, but they are fun #phdchat 2/1/2012 9:06:04

@thesiswhisperer two casual jobs: teaching during semester (great experience), and back

up one outside of semester. #phdchat 2/1/2012 9:06:22

catspyjamasnz

@lindathestar agree. i've done this for other work books too. libraries usually happy to buy...

@BoredPostdoc How much time do you think a student should spend on 'grunt work'?

I can think of at least one person I follow on twitter who waits tables because they don't get

sufficient uni support for their phd #phdchat 2/1/2012 9:07:02

@PJ_Weatherill great idea. Do you have any suggestions about where people can pick up

this kind of work? #phdchat 2/1/2012 9:07:57

thesiswhisperer

@lindathestar good point - libraries often listen to PhD student book buying requests. never

hurts to ask #phdchat 2/1/2012 9:07:58

Also, if ur nearing end of PhD, don't go part-time to work full-time for $$$. So many ppl I

know who did never ended up finishing #phdchat 2/1/2012 9:08:18
