So how's College Counselor for a career?

<p>So a lot of people who frequent this site probably know a great deal of knowledge about the college admissions process, perhaps maybe even more than some school counselors. </p>

<p>Anyone given a thought to being a College Counselor after College? Great chance to change world ya know...</p>

<p>I'm starting to think that maybe becoming an adcom can be an interesting career. If it doesn't hurt for law school admissions, I may take a few years off and work as an adcom for my college (mostly to get in with the law school adcoms) because I think I may actually have a passion for this crap. My parents will disown me though.</p>

<p>^lol, I've thought about the same thing! it seems like it would be a pretty interesting job... it's hardly a great thing to talk about as plan for after going through college though...</p>

<p>It would be nice to travel around the country bragging about how great your last 4 years have been. You can't argue with that. Also, actually reading applications and seeing how stuff behind doors works would not be an opportunity I would want to pass up. However, I'd assume the hours are godawful and the pay is not close to the amount I would be earning with slightly worse hours on Wall Street.</p>

<p>and they probably get really sick of seeing applications...</p>
