I like my work, my classes not so much.

Graduate research assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I'm very lucky to have a great job in my research area that supports me in my personal research as well as in advancing their aims; not all grad assistants are so lucky. I love my work and I'm quite happy with most of it. My job is somewhat flexible but I do have to put in desk time; I get the sense that I am in the minority of grad students on this.

Cons

As a student who also works you will work VERY hard. There are almost no "easy" assistantships here as some schools have. Also you work 13 hours a week plus take 3 very hard classes. In many ways it's easier to take 4 classes if you can afford it. We are also underpaid compared to many assistantships.

Pros

Somewhat limited by bureaucracy, but steadily improving.

Cons

Poor food choices around campus. Restrictive IT department. Constant construction is a hassle (but also makes for nice buildings). Parking policy is annoying without good reason.
