Business Outlook
Pros
I had a manageable number of students and valued the opportunity to teach in graduate school. The faculty members in my department are highly regarded in my field. I'll discuss pay more in the cons, but I appreciated the tuition waiver and health insurance. School spirit and morale was generally high.
Cons
I was paid the minimum assistantship stipend, hardly enough for groceries each month and certainly not a competitive wage. As a full-time student with an assistantship and another part-time job, I was overworked and exhausted for most of my time there. I often felt that my department was not valued by the university.
