I am in school to become a psychologist. I do not need the money from a grad assistantanship, but I am thinking about getting one for the job experience. The grad assistantship has nothing to do with what I want to do later on, but I figured it might look good for future jobs. My question is though, do you think it will really matter in the long run rather I have a grad assistantship in college? Will having a grad assistanship help me get a job?
 
Yes, any experience you are able to get will help you get a job in the future. Wouldn't you rather hire someone with an education AND experience than hire someone with just an education? Someone with practical experience will far out-weigh someone without any experience.

I worked in the Student Services field the entire time I was in college and it helped me get to where I am today.

Best wishes!
