Perks

Even though I don't love my job, I have to admit, it has some perks. As a high school counselor, college recruiters are interested in telling me all about their schools so that I can tell my students all about them. While this in itself does not sound like a perk, these colleges are willing to pay to fly me to their campuses so that I can see their schools first hand. To me, that is a perk because I get to leave my office and be flown to different parts of the country where recruiters try to turn me on to their programs. Personally, I always prefer working outside of my office to being in here. Next Wedensday, Ohio State is flying me to Columbus, OH for a tour of their campus. The Wednesday and Thursday after that, Ball State is flying me to Indiana so I can check their school out first hand. I am now waiting for schools in Florida, California, and Hawaii to call me so that I can go check out some warmer locales on someone else's dollar. The next time I complain about my job, I'll try to remember that it's not ALL bad.
