Well, the year is almost out. I have spent a year as a Student Assistant for Dr. Andrew Grossman (Chair of the Political Science Department) and have really enjoyed it. I also worked for a year in the Admissions Office at the front desk (three days a week) and assisting an Admissions Counselor. That job has been great too. I am really going to miss the people that I have been working with. I would have to say though, having a variety of jobs has been an amazing experience. I have been able to experience working with a plethora of people with considerably different personalities. I think that working in all of these positions has not only prepared me for working after college, but has also affected my job choice after college.
I learned that I really do enjoy working with people and getting to know them. I also learned that I like doing/learning a variety of things. I get bored if I do the exact same thing day after day and see the same people day after day. All of my jobs on campus have allowed me a change of scene/topic every day that I work. I think that’s why I’m so excited about my post-college job–because I have REALLY enjoyed my work here at school. And if I liked my work here this much, I wonder how much I am going to like my new job, which consists of the same type of situations.
