Graduate Research Assistant
"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."

What don't you like about working at University of Maryland?

"Although we have 70+ officers, many are in administrative positions. Some people work patrol for their entire career. You can also become a detective but there are few other enforcement positions. We also have a large amount of mandatory overtime including all football and many basketball games. Some people work six days a week in the fall. If you like overtime, there is nearly an unlimited amount."

"They need to change their style. The current Chief has been around a long time and is getting ready to retire. Hopefully a new Chief will change things around.

One week we will be making sure people aren't stealing cars and the next we won't care about it at all. We will just make sure people don't fight at the college bars."
