[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]First job for alums who weren't successful in finding a job through recruitment[/b].  The alum may have previously worked as a student assistant (work study) in the Admissions office before getting hired to the entry-level FT role.  So might already be "known" to the office.[/quote]
Of course some people can’t imagine that someone might want to work in education and choose higher ed because of how impactful and interesting it is![/quote]

I worked in a different administrative department at a T20 university (not Admissions).  We hired alumni.  Joining higher ed admin is not Plan A for the vast majority of these T20 students, it was a backup plan.  The ones who came on board as a first choice were largely aiming to get their Masters through tuition remission, which was a great deal for them as it normally cost $200-300k.[/quote]

what the hell kind of masters costs 200-300k? cant be mbas since that requires work experience[/quote]

Yes, part-time MBA.  By the time they are eligible for tuition remission (there's a waiting period) they have the work experience necessary to apply.[/quote]
