      Graduate Research Assistant

      Pros

      MIT provides good financial support for its Master's and PhD students through Research Assistant-ships. This allows students to allocate more time to their thesis work. Few universities in the US offer this support for Master's students.

      Cons

      Nothing specific to being a Research Assistant (RA). There are many cons to doing a PhD in general. PhD students/research assistants are paid far less than regular employers. Funding constraints dictated by the sponsor paying for the RAship can limit focus areas for the PhD.

      Pros

      You will learn a lot. It's fun. Around half the students are great.

      Cons

      There's a culture of not admitting you're struggling and denying interests outside of academics/work.
