What’s the worst thing that’s going to happen? You find a job that pays the same but requires fewer hours of work?
- umanwizard 7y agoThe worst thing that’s going to happen is you’re fired and (unless you have some other source of income) forced to leave your PhD program, permanently ending your hopes of an academic career. Not sure how you can reasonably downplay that...
- asdff 7y agoNot to mention, having to move because there are no jobs in Santa Cruz and no apartments you can afford without said job, and having to make this move happen to some unknown place that might have a job with your zero dollars saved up from your TA job. Homelessness for a spell is a real possibility.
