<p>Speedo,</p>
<p>Yes, it means a steady job, and job security. However, when parents and students are inconsiderate, over-demanding and expect us to handle everything as though they are our only student, we get a bit…angry?</p>
<p>Don’t get me wrong…those of us who are in financial aid do it because we LOVE the work we do. I’ve worked many different career fields and have not found any as rewarding as this one. There aren’t many careers that allow you to see lives changed. It is a wonderful feeling when I look at an 09-10 FA applicant’s whose income has almost doubled because they are working on their degree. Or a recent Bachelor’s graduate who received a super promotion at work and is now returning to complete their Master’s degree…especially when the student started the Bachelor’s program receiving welfare benefits and is now making a decent 5 figure income.</p>
