Hey y’all.
I am currently an academic advisor and I’m wanting to go back and take some classes half time. My only concern is handling my courses while advising. It seems like it never ends here in my department and when I answer one email 5 more magically appear in my inbox which I have no time for since I’m advising 8-5. We’re short 1 advisor and 2 more are leaving in the summer.
My question is do you recommend switching to another possible lighter position to lighten the load of taking courses. Or any recommendations you have while taking my courses while working in higher ed. I know “lighter” seems silly cause no position really is. I was just wanting to know your position if you took some courses! I am looking to finish my prereqs for vet school!
