NASPA-Student Affairs Administrators

Student affairs appears to be the profession for me because I want to work in an environment that challenges both the people I work with, and myself. During my undergraduate career I had the pleasure of working with a variety of advisors and mentors who saw something in me that I, at the time, had not discovered within myself. I was often challenged to push myself a little farther and a little harder in order to accomplish goals that I had struggled to set for myself. Once I discovered that student affairs was a profession I knew I wanted to pursue opportunities that would allow me to help shape student experiences in the same way mine had once been shaped.

Online job search engines are not being a lot of help these days. Oftentimes the only people you will hear back from would be scammers and employment agencies seeking to make money on potential hires.

The type of environment one works in can greatly influence the risk involved and the level of satisfaction within that career. When working in an environment with others, I prefer one that is task driven, open to diversity, and one that promotes work-life balance. With this type of work-environment a career can grow to be enjoyable and innovative. I believe work-life balance is something all individuals should strive for in careers and knowing how to balance the scale between life at work and life outside of work is a key factor to being successful in life. Not many people know how to incorporate and structure work-life balance into their everyday lives making their jobs both stressful and often unsatisfying. Meanwhile, having job diversity can provide the opportunity for being open to change and the advantage of knowing how to work with various type of people.

I feel that work-life balance is the balance between my own self-realization of what is important and thoughts from my surroundings in the world. I know when I have a good balance when the stress of life does not bother me. It is the moment that I realized that God is all-powerful and everything should be put in His hands. This is when all of my faith was put towards my heavenly father in prayer. When there is not a good work-life balance I tend to become distracted and lack focus.

After gradually gaining more responsibility for one to two years, planners become the main contact for the event. They now handle client and supplier interactions. After a planner has worked multiple events at a venue such as a convention center or convention hotel, that venue often pursues the planner to remain on staff. He/she acts as director of all events, becoming the main contact and decision maker for future conventions and guest interactions. This generally comes with a salary increase. However, one in six convention planners are self-employed. This allows a planner to hold additional jobs, create his/her own schedule, and determine pricing. These individuals’ salaries are competitive with those who chose to work for a company. Nonetheless, self-employment lacks the basic benefits of working for a large company such as insurance, promotion opportunities, larger networking circles, and name recognition.

There are two significant key career values I must achieved in my future professional life. Work-life balance is a crucial point to be able to success in the professional life. There are two reason why work-balance brings a lot of advantages to a person.
