Career Spotlight: Did you enjoy college enough to work there? I worked in HR in a large university, and it was very interesting, a tightly-knit community within the larger world with different standards than most other industries. College Administrators, on average, now earn $81,000 year (much more than I earned!), with an expected 10-year job growth of 14%. Over 8o% hold at least a bachelor’s degree.
