Academic Advising

[Prloko]

I did academic advising from 1992-1996.
It's not what you think. The goal isn't to advise the person, it's to advise the student; to guide enrollment.

Edit: It's a little like working for McDonalds, you don't get to suggest they get their burger from McD, their fries from Hardees, and bring a drink from home. That's what we do HERE, we do the good stuff. When you're an employee, you're loyalties are in-house.

Explains why you're so good at it

I'm actually a little surprised about the loyalties part, even with a non-profit? I know schools always prefer students take their specific courses because that is the intent of the program, but I figured the school would be helpful in regards to outside sources (CLEP, concurrent enrollment, etc).

Interesting.
