I think it's good that you brought up some potential negatives for people to look at as they plan for further education or career ops. For example, while researching the type of grad school I wanted to go to I discovered I would need to have a lot of experience actually working in a lab and even publications under my belt in order to be competitive - not something I could get through TESC alone. So, I went about securing a volunteer position that would net me this; however, it certainly wasn't easy. So, people should plan ahead and know what experiences they need besides the degree for their grad school or career plans.
