Richard the TA

Last night I received news that I have been selected for a TA position at ASU for a class focused on Zoning, Subdivision Regulations, and Building Codes. What's so great about that? Well aside from giving me some great experience to add to my resume it changes the whole dynamic of paying for my Masters degree. Instead of having to pay the outrageous out of state tuition I now only have to come up with enough to pay for half the in-state tuition rate. That's a difference of several thousand dollars. Even better than that though is that I actually receive a stipend of over $3000 as well. While I'll still look for a part time job somewhere I don't have to worry about money quite so much and things are starting to fall into place. Hopefully I can get an internship for the city of Avondale as well.
