Marion, Yes, we find that the most effective career services start on day 1 - actually during the admissions process. No matter how much time is spent talking about the job the program trains for, many students don't really know what it is like in the world of work. I met a massage therapy student who was shocked that clothes had to be removed for treatment. That's an extreme but an example of why the realities of the job have to be conveyed in many ways and constantly. It is the respsonsibility of everyone on staff to help the student have realistic expectations. Thanks, Susan Dr. Susan Schulz
