Business Outlook

Pros

I served as a Graduate Teaching Assistant and then a Lecturer in the Department of Communication Studies for 5 years. I will cherish those years for a long time, as the relationships and teaching experiences were formative for me.

Cons

The downsides are common to all academia: Lower pay, pressure to get a terminal degree, to research, and irregular schedule with various breaks. But all of these things were eclipsed, at least for me, by the relationships, the opportunities, and the love of MSU, which was also my alma mater.
