Thank you very much! I'm super excited to start the new job and you are so right about it taking a special kind of person! That was one of the hardest jobs ever and I did it for 2.5 years while working on my BA. I'm totally burnt out and happy to move on to a desk job!

I actually started my school 'career' in criminal justice, but switched to Sociology to be more diverse and I enjoyed the research part. My original plan out of college was to get a job as a social worker in the prison system, but Iowa is on a hiring freeze in many, if not all departments I put in 160+ apps and finally landed this job and I'm happy as a peach.
