<p>Biohelpmom–I wish it were so–if a volunteer did it they might find somebody who actually KNEW something about college! Our college center is staffed by a paid staff member, who has to hold a teaching certificate but does not have to actually soil him or herself in the classroom. As you can imagine it is a plum job and so it goes to the highest bidder. If there was ever a silver lining, it is that the latest incumbent lost her job to the funding cuts that were made because of the horrible state budget crisis. So we are all on our own booty hooty hoo–no more pearls of wisdom from somebody who can’t even get her own kid into the state flagship U.</p>
