Thanks for the information. It really helps. By the way, for what it's worth, my dad came from Canada, and 3 of my brother were born there! >>> Jim Bell <[log in to unmask]> 10/21 3:12 PM >>> At UNBC, we have standard pay for students: 8.50-10 for undergrads, 10-12 for a Masters student and 12-14 for a doctoral student. This, however, does not stop competition because 'Teaching Assistantships' are prestigious and SEEM to offer students a higher wage, so any tutoring candidate who gets a TAship (even marking exams) is usually attracted away from the Centre unless they decide to do both jobs.
