what's a student conference, Night?

in case anyone cares to know: I managed to leave the radio on (news station) last night and slept like a log from 11 to 5 anyway! When I woke up at 5, I switched it off though.

[miss tenderness]

hello...

how are you all? I really miss all of you.

[Virgil]

Hi Miss T. I hope you and your family are doing better. I know it's hard.

[miss tenderness]

yes,it's just hard but this is how life goes, I took a leave from my work to spend some days with my sister. She's okay now especially that all the family around her.

hello

what's a student conference, Night?

It was like this meeting/confrence thing where all these speakers came and told us all the FABOULOUS things other than tradional libraries you can do with a librarianship degree...the oonly bad thing is it got me all fired up and enthusiastic but I have to wait 3 years before I can do anything about it.

[SleepyWitch]

hehe, I've so been there, Night
if it's any help: my course takes around 5 and a half years (NOT including my year abroad)

[Nightshade]

oh well I definatly couldnt live with that.....

[SleepyWitch]

yeah, the other day a friend and me were saying we'll be burned out even before we become teachers, how can they expect us to be young and full of energy if they keep us in school till we're 27 and drain all our energy with their endless exams?

so, what fabulous things can you do with a librarianship degree?

[Nightshade]

well anything I like really Ive had to write a report and the report is rubbish I cant write acadmically about somthing I am SOO enthusiastic about it comes out stilted oh well.
lets see oh yes a quote

Also that nowadays there is so many more options than the traditional library graduates of IM and ILM courses can go on to work for traditional type jobs like Academic, public, school and government libraries, but are also increasingly hired in legal firms (this is the best paid job), the arts sector, media sector, private sector the NHS, record libraries, and charities and voluntary sectors.
They can also go on to do jobs that appear to have nothing in common with Information & library management e.g. the Head deputy fire officer for Durham county is a chartered librarian, but the organising and good management skills that are taught are transferable and help in almost any sector.

but its more than that in theory this means that I can do somthing to 'actually help people' like work providing and facilitating ( thats my word for today the vital flow of information for somthing really worth while like oh I dont know hospitals or WHO or the red cross or any other amazing institution... I might even convince the un/eu to hire me

Or I can be somthing like a lectorer at uni and help 'mold the minds of generations'
starry eyed nieve enthusiasum I know but I cant help it ...
