I think having a meaningful job where I see the contributions I make to my students’ education makes my job so rewarding. I am an academic advisor, advising pre-pharmacy students. Seeing their genuine appreciation for what I do for them helps me get up in the morning and deal with the interstate traffic to get to work. Graduation time is like icing on a cake when I see all of my students’ efforts pay off. It’s also a validation for my efforts and for the part I play in helping them succeed!
