The dedicated staff at every Sylvan Learning Center who want nothing less than the best for every student. Second, the parents. They are so grateful for the growth and achievement of their children. And Third, the pay. For any professional who wants the satisfaction of seeing students strive in a positive atmosphere the pay-off can not be measured in dollars and cents. I go home smiling every day. "
