>> So I think it's when you see the "A-ha!"
moment. So when you see a student kind of really get it or when a student reaches her goal.
So if it's, I was looking for an internship and they found one
and they come back and share that with you.
That's always really rewarding to know that you helped in that process: you helped and mentored
and coached that student through that process.
If they get into graduate school -- or even if they all of a sudden, you know,
feel like they know themselves better and they're excited about the major they're choosing
or they have a goal now and something to work towards.
And so I feel like all steps the process are really rewarding.
I think the challenging parts: one, is always time.
So working at a university setting there is only so much time and there's so many students.
So it's being able to find the time to do all the things you want to do
and then sometimes students wanting you to tell them what they should do.
So the counseling process isn't about me telling the student what they should do
or what I think they should do when it's really helping the student learn
that and discover that on their own.
So sometimes it's challenging when students say like,
"Well should I be a human resources specialist?"
And, you know, I can't answer that question.
Yeah.
