only 5 a week? i get 10 and still struggle to make it work.
i'm currently an RA, and i think i liked the idealistic image of being an RA more than being one. dont get me wrong, i LOVE my job, and all 55 of my residents...
but there are some days i dont wanna see freshmen.
i love being on an RA staff, and i feel more connected to NYU by being an RA. call me dorky, but its true. and the influence you have on incoming freshmen and on university policy is cool too.
never mind that the NYU compensation is pretty sweet (free room/board plus 15% off books, and get to move in 2 weeks early)
thats approx. $16k. but there are schools where the comp. is way lower and not even worth it, unless you REALLY like the job.
you can PM me if you want more specifics.
