Higher Ed
I’ve worked in undergrad admissions for a few years and amstarting to feel like I’ve hit the point where I can’t advance unless I move elsewhere. Most people work here for 2-3 years and leave for HR type roles, but I’d rather stay in Higher Ed.
Would fellow ‘rettes in Higher Ed be willing to share what they do/what their titles are? I will likely end up having to take on financial responsibility for elderly parents in a few years, so salary information would also be really helpful if you’re comfortable sharing. Thanks!

I’m a study abroad/international student services director at a SLAC. I earn $45k (I’m underpaid, but not *hugely* for my age and experience. Do you have an advanced degree? Higher Ed really places a premium on that (which makes sense).

I wouldn’t call an uptick in French manicures as “somewhat trendier” (per the quote in the article)… those were “trendy” when I got them for prom in 1999.

I am rep’osting from last night, tho I can’t find it. I wondered what the HIVE thought about the President’s assistant saying that people should go out and buy Ivanka’s stuff. I love Ivanka and will buy her stuff, but is it right for Kelly Ann Conway to say this? I say no, dad says big deal. What does the HIVE think?

re the wapo article, I have noticed more big/long hair lately in DC, which is funny with all of the bare legs and ankles everywhere. I love to watch and play “local” “not a local” with myself. Not that there are many locals in DC. But please, please tell me we aren’t seeing a return to French tip manicures. The ’90s are just mocking us now.
