Hi Jadey,

Well I graduated in 1998 with my BA in Political Science:Global Politics Concentration. When I originally started school way back in the mid80's I wanted to get into the Foreign Service, be a diplomat, etc. When I finally went back to school in 96 I thought about switching to business but was so close to finishing with my Pol Sci degree I decided to keep it that way. My minor was Anthropology.

After graduating I had thought I was going to stay in the auto industry (I worked at American Honda Motor Corp) but ended up working at the University instead. I was the Program Assistant for a mentoring program at CSUDH and was the assistant to the Director of the University Advisement Center. About two years ago I moved over to our Admissions and Records department as an Admissions Evaluator (I get to say yes or no to you coming to CSUDH).

We get tuition covered as staff members on campus so I decided to pursue a Masters in Public Administration. It's making me glad I didn't go in to business when I went back as the program is more business oriented then public policy/political and its not my favorite. The closer masters program in Pol Sci at another CSU where I can use my discount is about 1/2 hour away and I didn't feel like commuting so I'm going to stick to the MPA program. I wouldn't mind moving up in the University somewhere.
