"Graduate research assistant positions are overall a good pick in the sciences. The flexibility is unparalleled with any other job. The compensation, sure, is not great, but one can find ways, plus you are getting a free graduate degree, if you were to add tuition to your salary, it adds up to a good salary for someone with a BS or a BA."

"I have worked for the University of Maryland (UMD) for 16 years. UMD has a lot of room for advancement and they encourage employees to continue your education. Salaries could be higher. In comparison to private industry salaries are very low. While employed there I was motivated to finish my Bachelor of Science degree as well as my Masters degree. This allowed me the opportunity for promotion beyond the non-exempt status."
