>> Well, when I graduated I was
considering what my options were.
I was a double major of anthropology
and communication.
Anthropology was my true-love major.
I enjoyed communications, as well.
But I had been really working toward
possibly going to graduate school
and obtaining a PhD and becoming
an archeologist.
During my time at Rutgers, as well as
time spent at a previous institution,
I actually went on a few archeological
excavations and realized that,
though I loved the subject, I really
didn't want to pursue it as a career.
And so when I graduated I was really trying
to evaluate what my next step would be,
and I ended up looking for jobs working at
Universities, mostly because I had worked
in residence life at Rutgers,
student life, as well as working
at the Student Center to pay for college.
And it just dawned on me that, wow,
you could make a career of this,
and maybe that's where I should look.
And so I found my first position in
another university in New Jersey working
in residence life and just stayed working in
universities until I pursued my graduate degree,
and switched into working in Career Services.
And then was lucky enough, several years ago,
to land here at my alma mater
where I'm currently working.
