Busiest TA Ever

I was NOT the busiest TA ever when I was at AUC, but take a look at this job announcement that I received, today, from CPIL (Columbia Law's Center for Public Interest Law):

Columbia University School of Social Work for Legal Foundations
New York, NY
*Teaching Assistant
Overview/Qualifications: Student will assist in teaching, reviewing and
grading assignments, preparing cases, meeting with students. Great
opportunity for students interested in social policy/public interest law
and teaching. Taught by professor with a J.D. and Ph.D. in social work.
3L students preferred.
Duties: Eighty hours per week, $20 per hour, two-semester commitment.
To Apply: Contact Professor Vicki Lens at vl2012@columbia.edu

Did you see that!? 80 hours per week. As a third year law student. That's almost 12 hours per day, seven days a week (minus one hour for lunch four of the seven days) IN ADDITION TO being a 3L. That's crazy!
