I think one of the keys to managing the inherent frustration is not losing the sense of wonder and curiosity to learn, is the post that gives us life librarian. Thus, we can "study" and work together. There will be a very collegial way, but it is a good way to adapt and / or specialize. Although clear, who can continue studying ... always stand out either within this race and showing the versatility that distinguishes us.

Sara says:

As comentais this profession is quite frustrating and undervalued. But as I've seen in a message depends on where you want to focus your working life. I finish the degree in library science with 22 years. Between jobs, career internship and fellowship, I have experienced different environments in which your career can get back on track: publishers, law firms, libraries, public libraries, wind power company, currently working in a training company for transporters. As you say is quite understated and I guess by not having to pay you more I have not had an administrative assistant when my degree should have the rank of assistant.

Nor can you dedicate yourself to what you wanted when you made the race, my dream was to be documentary in a media, when in one of the most prestigious in Spain as an intern my disappointment was tremendous, and I lasted only two months, which I and most people I know working on what comes out, and do not specialize in what they would like.

The truth is that given the current job insecurity are not only the documentary, but the majority of graduates who have to cope with low wages, oppositions that are allocated beforehand, doing tasks that do not correspond to your level .... And so to avoid extinction.

in my point of view it is best to study and work at a time as far as possible, since I started the diploma until I was finished with half-time grants that allowed me to study and work.
Later, I enrolled in the degree of documentation that I am still, and while he combines my studies with work, I increasingly realize that I have learned as much or more in the work and scholarship in the university, and I also noticed that the degree, at least in the Complutense University, teachers are becoming less tolerant of people who can not attend classes, even for work purposes.
That is why each day I become more disenchanted with the University and its unfortunate teachers who teach rather than engage in roll call, make you sign with the DNI, mark papers with a picture of the form class, etc ...
what could have!
Currently have caused a very negative effect on me, I entered with pleasure in diplommatura, I learned things, I finished, and my desire to keep learning have been truncated with the degree in which I have not learned anything worth mentioning, these gangsters, this bunch of impresentables ... maybe in 5 of degree (currently ongoing study) leave the race, I'm not sure how to approach it, but I think it is so important language teaching as "titulitis" that affects the degree, and indeed, in the current curriculum, the languages are undervalued.
My conclusion is that the curricula are not in line with the demands of work at all, and besides, what I still do not understand is how with 18 years of diploma treat you like an adult, and 28 in degree as to a child, ladies when we registered is because we want and we are responsible, but we can not attend their classes, we are working, hopefully you understand some ...
I apologize for the roll, but I had to vent, which is good to do

myself says:

I have not yet finished reading the article, li imprimi to do so, but the fact is that we have a difficult job.
I graduated in 2001 and have been lucky enough to work but I look 18 months ago and there is no work. The last I heard was that people searching for my city Public Library and unemployment were called and since my was not called me to ask. Then I learn that?, They do not want people with university degrees but who have taken courses on the radio 'or so. Then I saw the working hours and saw more clearly, a person not entitled bully will leave that way.
We must fight for our rights and get our work puesstos that are not licensed in history, which I can not think of giving history class ever.
I encourage all

Maria Elena, and how about the adventure of combining a degree with your work, know if you have a flexible schedule, you work more than 7-8 hours, or if you are forced to attend class and there are students first and students second in your University ...
I would like to know, and if possible, know what your university ...
thanks

Hi:

Currently I am finishing 2nd degree in the University of Valencia and the truth is that few days ago'm quite discouraged.

I will explain why.
The library of the University of Valencia has got 7 seats to public tender in which not only is not a requirement to be a graduate degree in Library or Documentation, but neither one nor the other gives any kind of point worthy of recognition or gaining access to the post. Therefore, access is more likely to put an engineer or a doctor to have a higher than me, sad Diploma Project, which I will be at least three years in college, so then anyone can buy the agenda of the opposition and can access the post.

What I mind I chose to study subjects that I choke? What mood I enroll in third? I have days off during the week because if I'm in class, I'm at work (as you have said up here, the time in Valencia is a mess), I am constantly exhausted and now do not even have the incentive that I will have more possibilities of working in what I like ...

Anyway ...
