Hi guys,
So I just finished my sophomore year of college and I'm back home. I emailed a few of my home institutions in order to find a research position for the summer, and I explicitly stated that I was going to be volunteering because I didn't think they were going to pay me as I don't have any prior wet lab experience. Anyway, I found a position at a hospital but the PI wants me to be at the lab 8 hours a day for M-F. At first, I didn't hesitate to say yes, but now that I think of it, that's a **** load of time for unpaid work. What do you guys think? Should I politely request that I volunteer for a fewer amount of hours?
Thanks y'all.
