Our First Jobs

Oh! I had so much fun learning about your first jobs! I know Rosemarie used it as an exercise to get us thinking about the range and quality of our work experiences, and I look back and think: "Oh, the places we've been!"

I added a sidebar to capture the variety of our beginnings in the work world. I missed out on hearing Kimberly's and Jamie's, though.

So, Jamie and Kimberly, chime in with a comment or an email to us. Let us hear what your first jobs were.

Program Administration Q & A

Q: Are program administration jobs focused solely in areas of grant and/or self-sustaining programs?

A: The majority of program administration positions support extramurally-funded or self-supporting programs. There is a small number of program representative positions that support state-funded programs, an example of which would be the program representatives that administer interdisciplinary majors such as Chinese Studies and International Studies.
