Pros

As a research assistant at Georgia Tech, you can earn a PhD and a somewhat livable income at the same time.

Cons

The system of biological, biomedical science, and engineering education at the level PhD is deeply flawed in the US. There is little oversight as graduate research assistants enter the fiefdom of an academic lab. Waste, abuse of power, manipulation, and mismanagement of graduate research assistants by driven, high profile academics unfortunately seems to be the rule, not the exception.

Pros

As a graduate student you have the opportunity to obtain a world class engineering degree that will leave you with a variety of different career opportunities. The PhD program provides a challenging platform to develop your analytical and communication skills. Unlike the PhD stereotype, my experience has helped greatly develop both my written and vocal communication skills. The some programs are interdisciplinary and allow students to learn and syntesize concepts from a varitey of traditional disciplines. Georgia Tech also offers a multitude of resources, including business and language classes, which most graduate students can utilize to obtain a well rounded education.

Cons

Like most PhD programs, a timely and successful completion of the degree requires a substantial amount of work after regular hours and during weekends with little monetary compensation. Perspective students need to be aware of the time and financial commitment required.
