I had blinders on to Greek life when I began, and as I near thesis defense time in June, and graduation in August, I\u2019m realizing that my niche in higher education may not have been where I thought it was this whole time, but I\u2019m finding peace in this realization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>I decided to pursue a master's degree when I was told I would need one to work in student affairs.<\/strong> I was a veterinary technician at the time and I had realized that I missed academia and I missed Greek life. I thought, how great that I could make a living from working with other Greek students! So, in the fall of 2010 I began an online master degree program in higher education administration. I chose to do it online because I\u2019m a military spouse and it made sense to take my education with me rather than try to transfer credits. As I began, I focused my assignments heavily on Greek life, but I began to open my eyes to other departments such as orientation, first year programs and student activities. In the meantime, I had begun working as a communications specialist in an alumni relations office. I learned a lot while working there and gained some valuable website administration, writing and social media skills. I loved the environment I was working in, not to mention the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>My husband was stationed in California in August 2011 and we moved, meaning I had to leave my wonderful job, but continue my degree.<\/strong> While here, I\u2019ve applied for numerous student affairs positions, some an hour away, with little success. Finally, the job of my so-called dreams opened and I applied. It was a remote position working for a national sorority\u2019s headquarters. I would be charged with advising chapters and chapter advisors for an organization I believe does great things for its members and communities. I had interviewed for this position just before leaving my last job, but it was open again and I was beyond excited. I knew someone who worked there and thought it was perfect for me, especially as I near graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Just when I had been asked to do a phone interview, I received an e-mail from a friend asking me if I would be interested in another communications position for a development office at my husband\u2019s duty station (he\u2019s stationed at a military graduate school).<\/strong> This position would be a promotion from my last job, still be in higher education, and I would get to have lunch with my husband. Oh, the dilemma! So, I said, sure I\u2019ll apply. That day I was asked to come in for an interview the following day and I obliged. In the interview, I told them of my upcoming phone interview and my inability to decide. They were surprisingly okay with it and just told me to keep in touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The day came for my phone interview and I was pretty nervous.<\/strong>&nbsp;More nervous than I had been in the communications interview the week before. Strange. As I hung up the phone, I couldn\u2019t shake the nagging feeling that I wasn\u2019t where I was supposed to be right then. I had been reminded of the negatives of Greek life and the cattiness that goes along with being in a sorority the week before and I wondered if that negativity might creep into a position I may hold in Greek life and it hit me. I worried that feeling would eventually become my every day and I knew I didn\u2019t want that. I also worried that my love for Greek life may dwindle if I was faced with that feeling every day and that I may eventually just get burned out on it all. And, I really didn\u2019t want that. I knew that the communications position was essentially a guaranteed job, and I somehow in my gut I felt I belonged there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>So, I contacted the military school and told them I wanted to come in for a second interview and they jumped at the chance.<\/strong> I interviewed with the president of the board of trustees and the executive director of the foundation and a couple of hours later I had an offer letter in my inbox. It was that easy. All thanks to an e-mail from a friend asking if I\u2019d be interested in applying since she knew I\u2019d been job-searching already for several months. And the best part was, they were ok with my military spouse status, the fact that I knew we\u2019d be moving again in December. They even offered the potential for remote work when I moved, the holy grail of military spouse careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>I then set about e-mailing the sorority I had interviewed with, telling them I had accepted this position.<\/strong> I received an e-mail back stating that I would not be asked back for on-site interview and they wished me the best of luck in my search. I can only assume they had sent me a form e-mail, and that\u2019s ok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What I realized in taking this job, again in higher ed communications, is that I had set my path.<\/strong> It felt like a huge, life-altering decision, but I knew it was the right one when I felt relieved after making it. I knew that in making this decision and putting this job on my resume, I would be branding myself as a communications professional rather than a student affairs professional, but my gut trusted it and so, so did I. That\u2019s not to say that I\u2019m not building transferable skills, or that I\u2019m tied to this niche that I feel comfortable in right now. And, it doesn\u2019t mean that I\u2019m merely taking a job that doesn\u2019t challenge me, because two weeks in, I\u2019m already challenged! I just know that, at this time, this is where I\u2019m meant to be and I\u2019m happy with my decision. I know that in not making Greek life my job, as I had hoped, I won\u2019t be in danger of getting burnt out and I\u2019ll be able to offer more of myself as an advisor in a volunteer capacity in the future, when hopefully we move to a place with a collegiate chapter of my organization nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>I should also say, there\u2019s nothing wrong with taking a job you know you\u2019ll do well in and feel completely qualified for.<\/strong> Not every job has to be a stretch for your skills and experience, especially if it\u2019s a jump in titles and pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ultimately, you have to follow the path that feels right.<\/strong> Your place in higher education may end up being completely different from what you envisioned for yourself, but that\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing. Just because you have been pursuing a certain position or function, doesn\u2019t mean that others within higher education may not be a better fit. <strong><em>Take the time to explore the different paths that are available to you and really feel them out, see if your gut reacts to any of them.<\/em><\/strong> Don\u2019t be afraid to challenge yourself, but also don\u2019t be afraid to take a position that really uses your already existing skills. Honing those skills is never a bad thing, as long as you keep moving up and forward!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ultimately, you have to follow the path that feels right.
