Pros

Get to help other students learn a subject and truly master it yourself. Pay is reasonable, and hours are often self-selected.

Cons

Experience is heavily dependant on which class you TA for. If you work in the CS lounge, can have trouble finding space to set up.

Pros

The experience was great. The PI was amazing and kind and I learned a lot, definitely would do it again. It yielded great results for me such as publication. I recommend for medical school or graduate school.

Cons

Difficult to justify if you don’t plan to have a research career, graduate or professional school because the pay is lower than other positions available in Blacksburg.
