Why
Have I Made Extension My Lifelong Career?
-
They actually pay you to help people!
-
Having a person you have worked with throw their
arms around you with tears in their eyes and
thank you for all you did for them in a difficult
time
-
The friends and the strong bonds that you make
with the people you serve
-
4-H members and families send you Christmas
cards and stay in touch with you long after
they are out of 4-H
-
Watching youth grow into productive and responsible
citizens, and knowing you had a small hand in
that
-
Finding division and conflicts in organizations
when you arrive and leaving unified organizations
that look upon diversity of opinions as a strength
and not a weakness
-
Oh, the people you will meet!
-
Being your own boss if you take care of the
people
-
They not only pay you to learn, but expect it!
-
Extension people are some of the most creative
and fun people you will ever work with
