Great learning opportunity and academic world on chemical engineering

Working a masters student is both exciting and challenging at the same time. The challenging part of the work involves balancing academic and non-academic aspect of my life. Due to the long and irregular hours (usually 12 hours a day) required, it is difficult to engage in other non-academic activities. The upside of this that; I get to spend a lot of time with my colleagues, thus, further improving our relationship. A typical day usually involves a 12-hour cycle, that is, 12 hours at work and 12 hours away from work. During the 12 hour cycle I spend working, I maintain a bioreactor by making sure that it stays sterile and running. As part of my duties as a teaching and laboratory assistant to undergraduate students, I have to supervise all experiments undertaken by undergraduate students as well as grading their work. Time management has been one of my biggest lessons that I have learnt thus far. Such a lesson has allowed me to develop a good work ethic

Pros: exposure to the academic side of chemical engineering
Cons: Long and unpredictable working hours

Good learning curve

its a day of at least 10 tasks a day ranging from a password reset to network routing problem.at the medical campus where im currently located i have 3 colleagues and a team leader whom i believe we have a good work ethic and team work. I started this job when i was coming from a microsoft internship,was given someone to shadow for a week and got my own tasks from there.the contract was initially a 2 month trial which has lead to me been here for about 2 years where i got to practically learn all the things i have learn before the actual job. customer satisfaction is what i enjoy most,if i can resolve a task i will research to ensure that i eventually resolve it within the SLA unless it needs to be escalated.

Pros: I was provided an opportunity to get practical experience to align with my education
Cons: the company doesnt believe in internal growth and theres no opportunity to be absorbed permanently

I am currently unemployed but I was a tutor last year

A typical day at the office was constant interaction with students then after tests we would mark intensely. I would share the office space with coworkers and we learnt how to work as a unified group. Tutoring tought me patience, listening skills, multi-tasking and managing my time What I enjoyed was helping someone get a good grade. The challenging aspect was marking essays and granting marks accordingly.

Pros: Salary
Cons: Interference with school
