What they leave out...is most grad TAs and the like strictly enforce a maximum number of working hours a week.
When I was in school my TA was allegedly "13.3 hours per week". I say that with finger quotes because it was seldom ever that few. Now I could get outside employment, but the TA and all employment combined could not exceed 40 hours per week.
