The opportunity to gain research and lab experience that I otherwise would have never been exposed to. I worked under professors and was given all the guidance needed to work independently.
What I wish was different
The pay.
Advice
Reach out to professors who you really enjoyed. Even if you don’t end up working for them, they can often point you towards someone who is actively looking for help with their research.
