Business Outlook
Pros
No monetary restrictions, for the most part. You can be guided completely by where the science is telling you to go--and meet some of the smartest scientists in the world. If you want to do a technique, someone on campus is probably doing it and raring to teach you.
Cons
Governmental spending snafus, including the sequester. Also, the lab culture and quality of life varies wildly depending upon which senior investigator you end up working under.
