Use for the Experience, Not Long-Term - Academic Advisor UC Merced Employee Review

Severely underpaid for the amount of work you are doing! You work at the ground-level with 400+ students, serving students much more directly than most other roles, yet you're undervalued and not paid what you deserve. After taxes, making less than $3000 a month is not a liveable or fair wage for someone with a master's degree in California.
