Hi all, I'm stuck on where I should work next year, my sophomore year. I am already a writing tutor in our academic development center and I was also offered a job as a science tutor. I really was happy because I feel that being a science tutor would keep my skills sharp in Gen Bio and Gen Chem/OChem for the MCAT. However, I was ALSO offered a position to be a General Psychology lab instructor. Psych is my major so I always knew that I really wanted that position. It's kind of cool because you're teaching the entire lab component of the Gen Psych class on your own--I'm pretty excited about it. AND, I'm one of the only sophomores to ever be offered the position.
So, I was all set to accept all three jobs, until I talked to the supervisors in the tutoring center. The science and writing centers require monthly in-services on the first and second Thursdays of the month, respectively. And the psych position requires weekly meetings on--you guessed it--Thursdays, at the same exact time! So my boss said I have to choose: I can only be one type of tutor if I want to be a LI.
Based on my goals as a pre-med, with the MCAT ahead (though not for a couple of years), what would you do? Would you keep the writing tutor job or switch to be a science tutor? Or completely drop the LI thing? And does any position hold more weight with adcoms (I don't think so, but I thought I'd ask). Thanks for any advice you may have!!
