The arguments that I would present to someone in favor of working in academia would be what everyone has stated, which are flexibility in their schedules, work independently, traveling, and good benefits. Academia are free to do anything they want in their own pace because they are not working under anyone. They do not have a specific time set. They can decide when they want to take their vacation or just travel to witness new medical discovery while in the process making connections with other scientist. People that work in academia get credit for new discoveries and receive good benefits like insurance and retirement. The arguments that I would present to someone in favor of working in industry would be the higher pay which is far more you will be receiving at academia job. The benefit in working in industries is teamwork, you be able working and connecting with other individuals on a project. Industries have more job opportunity and promotion unlike academia.
