Ok, next week I start Grad school. Got the good GA position (pays tuition, grad fee and stipend). I'm not allowed to have any outside jobs, but the stipend is only ~񘼌 for the year, Aug. - Jul. It's the lowest paid on campus, and that's just not enough to live on. The theory is that I'll be making good money once I graduate and that the GA's get the hookup b/c of the networking with the corporate sponsors. That doesn't put bread on the table (or whiskey in the glass).

Today was my last day of work, and I signed a service contract w/the company I worked for to do maintenance/further development on their intranet which I designed, created, and implemented. I don't anticipate recieving TOO much money from this (probably 5-10 hrs/month max), but I'm a bit concerned about the program having a MAJOR problem with this. Technically though, the contract was signed before I began employment with the university.

Am I taking an unnecessary risk? Am I wrong for doing the contract thing?

P.S. Don't tell the department.

Shit man, the Nike workers in S.E. Asia make more than you do. You can't really live on that. That's barely enough to cover rent (depending on where you live).

You can tell the dept. that their stipend is not enough and that you have a contract at the risk of losing the GA, or keep it secret ... and maybe getting screwed later. I honestly do not know ...

The stipend is not negotiable, and I can't afford tuition w/out the GA spot...they've got me by the tamas.
