What is Sonoma State really like?

otc–it is possible to get entry-level jobs in SAHE with “just” a Bachelor’s but a Master’s will definitely help. I was very intimidated also at first, especially being a first-gen student, but am really enjoying grad school. And IMO a Master’s is becoming more and more necessary, no matter what field. One of my best friends here at ISU is in the Human Resource Development field. The nice thing about Student Affairs, HRD, etc. is that most of us have assistantships which greatly reduce the cost of our grad school. If you or your daughter have questions, feel free to reach out. Sonoma sends a lot of people to SA grad school every year…I think there were at least 2 or 3 of us who went from my “cohort” of student leaders that I came in with. I know of 2 or 3 more going this coming fall. It’s becoming more and more popular and gives you a ton of options as to where to go.

I don’t mean to hijack the thread. CSA is a really great job for anyone. You learn a lot of really essential skills: time management, crisis management, some basic counseling/active listening skills, relating to a very diverse group of people, etc etc. I could go on forever.
