I learned a lot from attending UTEP (University of Texas at El Paso). Graduate students and Faculty were great to work with. The only problem was the lack of money they had for students. There was only employment for 9 months out of the year.

A typical day at the office involves responding to emails and helping students with their school schedules.

A typical day at work was, working in a hood; doing synthesis, and characterization of novel compounds, after that requires several steps of purification depending on certain condition of every compound.

Poor work environment. Little financial compensation. Great culture, with unfriendly people

I learned everything I know now at UTEP. Co-workers and supervisors were always friendly and willing to teach. The environment is fun and demanding at the same time. The hardest part of the job was dealing with many students one week before classes started and one week before they are finished. Those are the rush times, but we would still have fun.

college football team best time of life.. balanced schedule classes and practice constant travel and required to be very punctual and accountable

Working for the University is one of the greatest jobs I have found in El Paso. Mostly due to the fact that it is one organization that has several roots and branches in the community. It is so intertwined with many local business, charities, schools etc... My day is never the same, and that is very important to me.

At this position I learned many valuable things about the Sports Marketing industry and college sports.
