publish papers. it matters a lot in academia, and if you're bogged down by admin work later, you won't have as much time to publish
Think twice before entering into academia dude. Scholars are nowadays branded as traitors, urban naxals, liberals (in a negative sense), and likes. They have zero contributions in the society as per most regimes (at least in Asia).
Lot of JGLS professors take teaching assistants. But that is mostly virtual afaik.
