So I've been working at the University of Phoenix for a month now, and after 4 weeks of training, and a few days of doing it for real, I have to say. I love my job. It's amazing to be able to spend 8 hours a day working to change people's lives. It may sound a little cheesy, but that's exactly what I get to do.
For those of you who don't know, the University of Phoenix is the largest private university in the country. And my job as an enrollment counselor is to help people that are interested in getting their college degrees get started in school. I spend a good portion of every day meeting with students or talking with them on the phone; facilitating their desire to get their education and make a changes in their lives. I really love it.
Another great thing about this job is that it will eventually enable me to get back east where I belong. ;o) Not that I don't love Utah, but as stated in past posts - it's really not for me. Since UoP has campuses and learning centers all over the country, I can apply to transfer back east once I've met my current commitment to the Salt Lake campus. Come next summer, it will be time to finally head back home. And if you think I'm not excited at that prospect, you really don't know me well...
