[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Admission staff are usually college's own grads who don't have  better job options.[/quote]

Exactly! We also discovered this to be true. (I felt horribly judgmental, but...) Every time the admissions staff would gush about being a proud grad of the school - I'd immediately think "and this is what you got from your $80k x 4 investment" ? (Then on the less judgmental side of my brain...) I'm curious what these young adults learn from that job and what they use it to springboard into.

It doesn't help that many of our high school's CCO staff (abysmal this year) also took a tour through college admissions offices before moving to the HS environment.   [/quote]

If it’s an $80k school they’re probably from wealthy families or on full FA so no debt. [b]Biding their time before law school[/b].[/quote]

Except that no prestigious law school would appreciate reading "college admissions officer" on a resume. They know what the job is, and they're looking for more serious jobs or people going abroad and coming back with interesting experience and/or certifications. [/quote]
