Pros:

• Coffee and milk. Such good coffee.
• Nice people that I work with.
• Having a more experienced person who also has my title, because I don't feel that intimidated asking her questions about what to do.
• Cool things that I do.
• How helpful it is for spectroscopy practice, esp for class.
• Constant brain stimulation, because it's a constant learning process. It is unusual for entry-level work. Well, mostly on Fridays.
• Getting to talk to Jake about what I do and have him think I'm cool.
• Feeling capable and useful about myself at the end of the day.
• Not having to be on my feet or making...macro body movements all day, because I get frazzled. Also it's less physically taxing.
• Similarly, not having to do lab work, because I would fuck it up a lot.
• Getting to set my own damn hours and not getting fired for that reason ever.
• Going to work in a hoodie and yoga pants.
• Learning the ins and outs of a more corporate, more "industry" atmosphere.

Cons:

• Occasionally feeling very incapable and lost because it's a constant learning process.
• Not having to do lab work, because I do need the practice in order to not fuck it up a lot.
• Not learning the ins and outs of a more "academic" atmosphere.
• Not doing my own research, because I'd like the experience (and prestige; let's not lie).
• Being tired all the time.
