seriously ✄☟☞ cut it out

i blame the baby boomers
please all retire and die

hey!

(late boomer here)

in 20 years we will all be required to get our PhDs to please our geriatric boomer overlords, many of whom do not have a college education.

I don't know anything about business school (ANYTHING) but I always thought of an MBA as kind of weird. I don't really get what people take from those programs that they can't learn with real-world experience.

I always thought MBA was ostensibly what most frat/jock types were going to school for, ie the equivalent of "Industrial Arts" class is high school.

I think you read a bunch of those Machiavelli vs. Sun Tzu BUSINESS IS LIKE WAR books.

I am confused by the concept of MLS or MLIS degrees. What do you learn about librarian-ing? Isn't the Dewey Decimal System pretty much set in stone?

world always needs librarians! nedraggett.jpg

a lot of mba programs then bring in a lot of those non-academic/phd early-retirement boomers to teach classes!

the world needs a fucking overhaul

Library job market (for decent positions)is v competitive, right? Hence the pressure for higher degree plumage...

MLIS coursework is lots of programming/database stuff. it seems pretty light, like there is no reason it should be a two-year course and not one-year.

xxpost good thing the AGE OF AQUARIUS is upon--

oh... never mind...

i am an aquarius :/

I am confused by the concept of MLS or MLIS degrees. What do you learn about librarian-ing? Isn't the Dewey Decimal System pretty much set in stone?

You learn about different databases, how to solve various types of requests, how to help patrons, how to evaluate what books are going to be good for your library and what to pitch, cataloging, etc. the list goes on and on. And most academic libraries use Library of Congress, not Dewey Decimal.

Library job market is very very tight. The key is to specialize!

almost did MLS years ago but i'm now pretty discouraged.

Thanks, Mr. Que, that makes the idea much more understandable.

though i agree that it should be a year degree, but maybe if it is two, you take the first year and learn general stuff, and then take second year for specialization (science, legal, academic, music) and apprentice somewhere.

Rrrobyn nothing personal, just lame boomer humor.

har i know - now is the REAL age of aquarius amirite
i am going to a) work hard and 'make a difference' and/or b) move to the north and live underground and make weird electronic coms shit

ok b) sounds really pretty good right now. i wld do an internet radio show.

I am maybe doing MLS next year - both Chicago-area programs can be done in a year if you do them full-time.

I did my MLS in 3 semesters, after I quit my job and went full time. I do not advise taking 5 classes during one semester, though, esp. if you have a part-time job. The work wasn't hard, but there was A LOT of it.

b) sounds awesome, rrrobyn.

let's start noize dude summer camp and electrocomplex in Alberta

CIO: baby boom academics living so long.

i'm hoping when the baby boomers leave the convention of working 9-5 will go away. 11-7 or 10-6 would be such an enormous jump in my quality of life. i keep expecting as i get older to stop hating getting up early but it's just not happening.

^^^^^^yesssssss

Absolutely OTMFM.

Looool (sorry, very mean but after his little moment on the daft punk thread...)

cio double act of fuckery on another forum:

dude one - any time a discussion that he is not involved in gets interesting, he starts metaphorically cock-waving, i liek big tits etc. He is a moderator.

dude two - continually moans about the same shit, will do nothing about said shit, also repeatedly crapfloods threads w/lolcat images.
