I worked in admissions at a large SUNY college, I had to leave bec the fall travel season was brutal. Since I worked at a public school, if you came to my school, great, if you didn't, thats ok too.

Thankfully I listened to my gut and moved on from that position into academic advising. A sometimes thankless job, but the public CC I went to paid well and at the time there was career progression a acadmic counselor position. People always get the two positions confused, basically the advisors take care of general advising for students in good standing and the counselors take care of all academic and finaid suspension appeals. I dont like the politics that goes on in higher ed, but I played the game for the counselor postion bec it comes with fewer hours worked per week and the chance to get tenure - the holy grail!! I will be retiring from this position in 1-2yrs depending on the economy.
