Job Responsibilities
I was responsible for the oversight of the delivery of services to
the elderly and disabled enrolled in the state program to keep
them out of the nursing home.
|
Job Requirements
There was only the requirement that you have some experience
working with the elderly population and an undergraduate degree.
|
Uppers
The people and the hours were very flexable. You got to be very independent and
it was nice to meet with the elders in their home every 3 months.
|
Downers
There was no upward mobility. Since the career prospects were not
there, I went back to school.
|
Lifestyle
Work hours were really flexable. It was more a job for a 30-somethings or 40-ish
women with kids at home. It was not really for the up and coming 20-somethings.
|
Compensation
The salary was high for coming right out of school, but low for
the Boston area.

Advice to Jobseekers
Just know that helping people does not pay well, but it makes you
feel good!
