<p>What are the benefits/perks of being a TA? And what are the requirements and time commitment? I also heard that they also get paid. How well?</p>

<p>Only graduate students are allowed to be TAs, then?</p>
<p>I guess. I tried to find an info page from each school.</p>
<p>All of my TAs have been grad students but I’ve had older undergraduate students assist in some of my classes but they were not paid and it was really informal and up to the professor.</p>
<p>I know there are undergraduate teaching assistants I just don’t know if they have them officially at UT. Also, if I had to guess you’d have to be a senior to be a TA as an undergrad if they even exist. </p>
<p>Also you have to remember that TAs at most colleges are not just jobs that are open to anyone, they are usually part of grad student’s financial aid package/funding.</p>
