Business Outlook

Pros

All the professors I've worked with have really cared about their TAs and the students they're teaching. They respect both parties and are genuinely interested in teaching.

Cons

One major challenges it the lack of motivation of some students, especially in the introductory classes. It makes sense given that they're not going to major in biology but it's still tough to work with.
