      Pros

      Good compensation, nice small town feel, I always seem to be friends with many of my coworkers. VT has interesting speakers on a regular basis and the opportunity to easily go back to school.

      Cons

      State bureaucracy limits career advancement. Difficult to get top talent to rural SW VA, so often stuck reporting to the B team.

      Pros

      As a graduate student assistant, I take labs for undergraduate classes. It is a fresh revision of those basics as every now and again, students come up with new and interesting questions/problems. To be able to take on this challenge, you really need to have a sound understanding of the course yourself. This is a nice way to keep in touch with your basics.

      Cons

      Sometimes the work load adds extra burden, especially as a graduate student.
