Thursday, February 7, 2008 @ 8:40 am Unfortunately, I'm the only one who can provide it. Yesterday, my PI and I discussed the possibility of extending my internship another quarter, and possibly through the summer until I head off (knock on wood) to graduate school. I would get a modest pay raise and the certainty of saving up extra money through the summer (as opposed to maybe getting another job that doesn't require the use of too many brain cells, or, alternatively, finding a summer position in a lab that may or may not pay me for working in it) makes answering in the affirmative a fairly attractive option. However, it also severely limits the classes I can take next quarter, not to mention places a limit on my tutoring time, which is far more lucrative than the internship, and arguably just as advantageous to have on my CV if I ever want to teach at the college level in the future. What I think would be perfect is if he would allow me to show up 10 hr/week to train another intern to take my place. That way, I can tie up some loose ends on the three projects I'm working on, I can help smooth the transition between me and my replacement, and it still frees up some time to devote more time to tutoring. That arrangement isn't exactly an entirely new proposition--my predecessor trained me 10 hr/week for an entire quarter last year, so there is some sort of precedent. Argh. It's a lot to think about. Hopefully, he won't need an answer right away... 1 Comments. |
