Business outlook
Pros
Working on a research project (and in a graduate program in general) I was surrounded by briliiant, inspiring people. I felt that I was continually learning and contributing to something larger than myself.
Cons
Difficult to maintain momentum in research while balancing coursework (particularly when working with a team and semi-absentee professor). It is easy to head into a project bright eyed and bushy-tailed, and to loose steam when team members don't hold up their end of the bargain.
