After Jacob Wohl's stupid discussion of undergraduate work, I'm searching for an equivalent time survey of Graduate Students and I can't find one, so I wonder what the average weekly schedule looks like for a grad student.

I usually find time to sleep once a week between midnight and four am on Sundays.

Yep. I did things a bit different because I tried to work part-time or full-time as a contractor because my skillset was in very high demand and it I thought it would let me live better (although, mostly, it slowed me down). But, yep.

I tried to factor that in with the 20-40 hours a week. But yeah. Part time often ends up being more time than full time due to losing returns to scale & scope.

To be honest, all the people I know who came in with other jobs like in consulting or contracting quit. Their non academic jobs paid more, and they couldn’t balance them both. I know someone who did full time PhD and a 20-40 hour a week consulting job. They left after 1.5 yrs.

Yea. Last year I did full time. I thought "I'm not far from the end, I can handle it." It basically just meant I got almost nothing done on my Ph.D. while working too many hours for a job that isn't what I'll end up doing anyway. It was a mistake.
