Business Outlook

Pros

Like every school in top 10, Purdue promises you to teach a lot during PhD.

Cons

Considering the fact that I have been in other grad schools, this was the place i was paid lowest. In addition, on the paper, it looks like you are paid good money, but tuition fees are crumbling your back especially if you are loaded with courses.

Cons

Some people are not being utilized to their fullest potential - managers overlook because of what they feel is a lack of a degree or experience rather than giving someone a chance. Lack of a career path in ITaP
