So, coming into graduate school I thought I was 100% certain that I wanted to work in Greek Affairs after I got my Master's. I quickly realized 2 things.
1. EVERYONE wants to work in Greek Life. At least half of my first-year class mentioned something Greek-Life related in their future career ambitions. Each university has one, maybe 2, Greek Affairs coordinators. This means that there will be major competition for these limited jobs.
2. I really want to work with collegiate chapters of Alpha Gamma Delta, and if I was a Greek Coordinator, I most likely would not be able to do that, as it would be a conflict of interest.
So, what am I going to do with my life now? Patricia, my supervisor, told me to look up my "dream jobs" a few weeks ago. While pursuing HigherEdJobs I came across the jobs of "International Admissions Counselor." Remember those people from universities that came to visit your high schools to convince you to go there? Well that same position exists for International students. International travel is something that I've always wanted to do more of, and I don't know how I never realized that I could do it for a career.
Most of the jobs that I'm looking at for after graduation have "extensive international travel" as a requirement. And I'm so excited about that possibility.
