Business Outlook

Pros

Great connections can be made through Tech. There are amazing research opportunities, and the professors are experts in their fields. I would go back if I needed another degree.

Cons

One of the downsides to having the professors be experts in their field and being involved in the amazing projects etc. is that the instruction varies greatly between profs. Some are great, but some are not, but they are around because the pull in money and do great research.
