Being the senior student affairs officer on campus carries great rewards. It also brings tradeoffs, especially for women. To decide whether it's for you, first ask yourself:

* Are you a big picture person?

* Do you like planning and problem solving?

* Will you be content spending less time with students?

* Are you comfortable with personnel work taking up a lot of your time?

* What balance of work and personal life works best for you?

* Will you miss being a peer in the student affairs team?
