I learned a lot of practical skills working as student web developer.

Business Outlook

Pros

My hours within my office were very flexible, I choose what hours I worked on each day. They really let me work around my school schedule.

Cons

Because of a student policy I was only allowed to work 20 hours a week during the school year, and under 40 during breaks and summer. 20 hours a week was hard to live on.

Business Outlook

Pros

Learned a lot, especially about how politics can affect what your office gets. The students are absolutely the highlight.

Cons

Salary is pretty much as low as they can get away with, honestly. There are plenty of better paying institutions out there.

Great place to work if you can avoid the politics.

Graduate assistant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of opportunities for graduate students to work and pay for tuition at the same time. Graduate assistantships are challenging and provide a lot of good opportunities to network for someone hoping to make a career on a college campus.

Cons

There are a lot of politics involved with being a graduate assistant at Missouri State, especially if you find yourself working in the corporate office or one of the academic departments. People sometimes have a hard time minding their own business and the gossip chain can be unsettling.
