I will be graduating in December (both exciting and scary, but to tell you the truth I don't really want to). My dad has told me that I am basically cut off financially from him, with the exception of health & car insurance.

I'm thinking of maybe going into student/academic affairs, yet I honestly have NO idea as I have never had an internship in those areas as an undergrad (they just don't offer them). I have worked with several programs that are under those departments, including freshman seminar programs, being a member of greek organization and working with our collegiate panhellenic council, working closely with advising sophomores, etc. I've tried to get as much experience as I possibly could. I already have an internship lined up to work with academic advisiors for a few months after graduation, but they are not sure if it is paid yet. I'm also not sure if I will be going to grad school or getting a job after that internship.

My question boils down to this. I possibly have 2 opportunities. The first one is working as a student assistant in the Admissions office at my school. I wouldn't be reviewing applications, but I would still be in the office and would get to experience that aspect of higher education. The pay is $8.00.

I have another opportunity to be a nanny. I absolutely ADORE kids; this is something I've done quite a bit and loved. The pay is $12-15.

Thinking about saving money this semester because I will be cut off really makes it difficult for me to choose the admissions job, especially because I'm not even sure if I want to go into higher education. Admissions is something that I really have wanted to experience as it reminds me a little of recruitment (I could be totally wrong).


Sorry for such the long post. Does anyone have any words of advice on what I should do? Thanks in advance.
