"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."

Research Assistant

"As a former automation intern at Schneider Electric, I was responsible for scaling the production line from manual to semi-automated and fully automated. I was one of the best examples of diversity and inclusion as I did not speak the local language or was not accustomed to the local culture. I learned the most out of there and that experience helped me decide my future career path."
