@Clark2College I feel like we should look at this on a weekly timeline. So many talented people are fleeing the profession, at all career points. It’s bad out there.

@AcceptGroup Hemorrhaging talent is an understatement

@Clark2College This is a super real concern. Many of the things that drew folks to the profession initially are diminished currently and replaced with uncertainty and stress.

@JonFRice Uncertainty, stress, volume, mounting pressures, competing agendas, criticism from all angles, languishing resources, all heightened by the brutality unforgiving calendar.

@Clark2College You and I should collaborate on something together regarding this issue @Clark2College - what do ya say?

@AngelBPerez Absolutely. I’d love to. Such a critical moment & past time for most institutions to think differently about their investment in this space.

@Clark2College I'm a builder by nature and also worried. Happy to jump on a collab train to make sure we have the folks next year who can help position us strongly for the "future."

@aaoddi Welcome aboard

@Clark2College Rick you and I spoke about this before Christmas. People are leaving in droves, and in a relationship business it’s tough to, well, build a relationship when the people keep changing. Sure the opportunity to make more money is a factor but there have to be others.

@frick_college $ is a factor but absolutely not predominant.Again,the incessant grind, ever mounting criticism,internal/external pressures-plus “all the things-flexibility, no clear career path, lack of agility is KILLING US!Oh & the absolute crucible aka the unforgiving calendar. It never ends

@Clark2College The number of college counseling jobs open right now is staggering.

@Clark2College Public school teachers having this issue as well.

@Clark2College (1/2) When I got my first management level position, I used to say that I never would have achieved that level at that age 20 years earlier, but the transitory nature of our profession over the last two decades...

@Clark2College Next year seems too far away - next week, next month...

@Clark2College Very real on the school side right now

@Clark2College I feel this in my bones.

@Clark2College This is an issue for all of us who sit at the college admission table.

@Clark2College And the public school side depends on over-dedicated exhausted counselors. We fear that times of even greater inequity are coming.
