College Access Program Specialist
I am a college advisor that helps high school students find college options that best fit them.
Working with students, there isn't ever a typical day. Working in the inner city ads layers to this. So if someone shadowed me for a day, I can not tell you with certainty what they would see.
Here's the first step for high school students
Get good grades / test scores. Working for a non profit organization or working in education will not make you rich. Good grades and test scores will get you scholarship money so that you will not have to pay back as many student loans as I do. Paying exorbitant student loans take away from your quality of life.
