Business Outlook

Pros

Best research in the world is done here, the equipment here is great, you usually get the freedom to research what you want and the professors won't steal your work.

Cons

the professors are sometimes too busy to look after you, so you really have to develop research skills in classes or on your own. it really depends on who you work for... some professors are great... others are not so wonderful and will have you do mind-numbingly dull work. you just have to be super careful when you read the urop descriptions and go in for an interview.
