I am currently an admin at a university and while it hasn't been horrible, it hasn't been great either. I would say the pros are a relatively flexible schedule, the work itself is pretty low stress, being on campus early in the morning is a really relaxing way to start the day, and in my personal experience I have a really great boss. Cons however, low pay, professors are really demanding and honestly kind of childish sometimes, and people never answer your emails lol I hope that's helpful.

Hello and thank you for your post. I've been an admin for the Army and a couple other places. I'm really trying to find something remote and secure. If you know of a position, please Dont hesitate to let me know.

Truly grateful

Growing up was rough. On my 8th birthday my dad had an accident that led to this death a few days later. He was a good man who took care of us all (I had 3 siblings now 2; lost 1 few years ago). I'm in a good place in life right now I only find myself in the last 5years shedding a tear once a while when I'm alone. It startles me because I was a tough kid who didn't cry and just soaked it all in and rolled with it. I'm almost 40 and can't explain what's happening with these tears.
