Business outlook
Pros
Stipends for graduate students are higher than other places. Funding generally lasts for 5 years if you are in a PhD program. There are many opportunities to get funding for research through the university.
Cons
Work conditions vary dramatically depending on the lab and department. Graduate students work hard for little pay and have a lot of uncertainty about whether they will find an academic position even with a PhD.
