Here it is, another video in the “How do I gradschool?” series! This one asks, “what are the benefits of working in graduate school?” If there are no subtitles yet, please check back tomorrow, YouTube usually does a good job with my voice! 1/

There are three major benefits that I discuss (first ~12 minutes):
(1) skill development
(2) financial stability
(3) socializing
2/ 

But I also discuss how working might interact with your program of study, and when might be an ideal time in your program to *not* work if it can be avoided (last ~12 minutes).
3/ 

Some things I missed, or did not touch on that much:
(1) working a job can cause stress that impacts your studies
(2) many jobs require different skillsets than graduate school, and you might find yourself comparing your performance in one vs. another
4/ 

(3) time management (you can see my video on time management, linked below)
(4) finances (see video linked below)
(5) mental health (see video linked below)
