[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]

You people are so completely idiotic. You’ll complain if people in these positions aren’t educated enough. You’ll complain if they’re too educated. You’ll just complain, period. [/quote]

This was my only post in this thread and my only complaint was about my school's CCO staff this year (and that is much deserved).

I didn't complain about whether admissions staff are educated enough or say anything about being too educated.

If you read my post, you'll see that I merely recognized that many admissions offices were staffed by recent alum and that it occurred to me that that is not the type of job my kids are hoping to land from their college investment. But then I also recognized that it could be a springboard for others and posed a question. (to which someone answered law school and that makes sense to some extent).  [/quote]
