  • An office
  • Free Food
  • Friends
  • Parties
  • Working with practitioners and faculty
  • You get to be an editor of things

Cons:

  • Additional demands on your time
  • Other journals will try to make you sound less prestigious
  • You HAVE to write a comment
  • You get shamed for not wanting to publish
  • You're still just PRETENDING to be a successful adult
  • Tight deadlines
