I just started a job as a Greek Advisor a month ago!! I have a bachelors and a master's in Counseling Psychology, and spent 8 years working in the psych field before I realized that volunteering for AST was a heck of a lot more fun!!! I have been on AST staff for 6 years, so that was my experience (plus the psych experience helped with group interaction, development, and counseling/advising stuff).
I started out at a small private school where it's OK to go into a job like this without the Higher Ed Master's. Larger schools probably would favor someone with a Higher Ed master's degree because there could be less time for one on one, "on the job" training. (I'm not saying that I have no clue as to what I'm doing, but I require a little more guidance on IFC stuff because I'm not a member of an IFC group...)
So far I'm having a blast!! It's really all about finding the right fit for you....I don't know if I'd ever want to work in a huge school like Indiana or Mizzou. I like the smaller schools personally.
