What does a day in the life of a career and college specialist look like?
Every day, I come into the office. If I'm lucky, there are usually students waiting for me.
I write papers for students who have scheduled appointments. Then I reply to emails.
I get many emails from colleges, families, and other entities that want to share information with me. After that, I see students. A lot of my time is spent meeting with them and helping them navigate their questions and processes.
