Business Outlook
Pros
There is typically good funding for equipment. If you are in the right department, you can earn good money as a postdoc or project scientist.
Cons
You can also earn quite poorly if you happen to be in a less well funded institute. There is a lot of red tape in getting anything done and way to many meetings. They don't hire for staff engineer positions until 2 years after the previous engineer retired and then use postdocs as an underpaid stop-gap.
