Top Ten Reasons for Being in Admissions:

10. Big Bucks!

9. Enjoy being told by a prospective student that you have a specific major, because they know someone, who knows someone, that went to your school and was in that major you later find out they are thinking about another school.

8. Enjoy listening to parents tell stories about their kid's academic prowess, great athleticism, 300 extra curricular activities, etc, only to find out s/he has a 1.6 GPA.

7. Enjoy being in a caravan of 50 cars that have to do an illegal U-turn in the middle of a major intersection because the leader “knows” where they are going.

6. Big corporate bribes for relaxed Admissions standards!

5. Enjoy driving 1 hour for a 30- minute college day program only to see 3 students.

4. Enjoy explaining in-depth about your colleges programs only to have, at the end, the student say that s/he's at the wrong school's table.

3. Great dinners at college fairs that consist of fruit and cookies.

2. When working for a large school, being asked if you know their friend.

1. It's better than being in Financial Aid!
