I wish I'd studied to become a librarian.
I could be working in a university library right now earning decent money in a quiet, comfy job. It would have suited my temperament perfectly. Instead I work long hours in an open-plan office full of normies.
Hindsight is a helluva drug. I've fucked up big-time.
You still can.
I can't. I'm too old and exhausted. I have barely any energy left. I turn 27 this year and I have no experience of working in a library, so it's unlikely I'll even get accepted onto an MA.
I was just reading about the writer Per Petterson who studied to be a librarian at 20 because in his day you could.
>I'm too old and exhausted.

man what the fuck
you need to get Veeky Forums and eat well if you feel 40 at 27 you can already kill urself
I am a sensitive person. Yet I work in the kind of environment suitable for loud people who like to gossip for nine hours a day in a bright crowded overheated room.
Most people, probably over ninety percent, earn their library science degrees at the age of 22 / 23 or after a few years working in a library and wanting to progress. It's rare for newcomers to join in their late twenties.
You totally still can, dude. Don't just roll over and die like a pussy. Go back to school at a community college or get a part time job at a library. Don't give up on being happy so easily. It's not as impossible as you think.
this, there is a guy in my company who is 28 and he starteted this year a 3 year long aprentice which usually ppl do at 16
hate to break it to you bucko but libraries may be nothing like what you described. it is a completely customer service based job and anything involving books is basically incidental.
t. guy who wanted to be a librarian since he was a kid, got a job in the field, and was fucking miserable.
Wtf do you need a degree to be a librarian?
You need a Master's Degree. A PhD is sometimes required as well.
Ridiculous. I've seen younger people working at libraries. I see them all the time. Maybe you just aren't trying hard enough or applying the right way. Sometimes applying for jobs has to be your full-time job.
I had to apply to three different libraries 53 different times, under different names, just to receive the job I have right now. It's about perseverence. We live in a utopia.
yeah its prety fuckig remarkable what billion dollar institutes with state sponsorship and the total submission of the upper classes can convince plebs to do for money and gratuitious amounts of time. humans are debased animal fraudsters, con artist rape monkeys
Dewey system is no joke
The fuck is that thing? My god
>under different names
What is even the point of doing this? If you got the job you would have to provide proof of your identity
This. Public libraries where I come from are cancer due to terrible management.
These sorts of things can be stolen.
I'm not saying I've committed identity fraud.
But I'm also not telling you where I hid the body ;)
Don't get sad that you didn't. Hindsight is 20/20.
You can start now, but all I'm seeing are excuses.
So don't get sad that you didn't do it before. If you thought of it before, you wouldn't have done it anyways, because you're a lazy, pitiful fuck.
does anyone know if there's a place like Veeky Forums but with smart people? maybe on another chan?
Why exactly does being a librarian need a higher education? I can't imagine it being much different or harder than some retail job
Tell us, this is an anonymous board after all...
THIS, fucking filled with retards, my god half the time we don’t even talk about LITERATURE.
because the job listing says "masters in library science required"

I am not a librarian nor do I work in a library. Let me be clear: you need an MLIS or MLS to work as a librarian. These advanced degrees are a requirement to secure a job; Librarian jobs are extremely competitive. You can work in a library doing menial work without any sort of advanced degree at all.

Sounds about right.
>library science degrees
Is this really a thing?
In what kind of a overregulated socialist shithole do you live?
You're a normie, if you think becoming a librarian is some sort of mythical bygone era fantasy. You little spineless cunt, you could literally become a librarian at any point in time. And if you want to be the fancy type, take a few classes at night pick up a MFA and you will be top bitch in the library of your choice. I could literally do it in 3 months so you might be able to in a year or so, with a good tutor and a large to medium butt plug.
If you are there, then the collective IQ will drop back to under 83. Sorry, but you're a tool.
Currently working on my bachelors right now at 22, going to be 26 when I finish and then thinking about library science. You can still do it OP
Folks, I know this is kind of off-topic but what book is the text on the left referring to?
Fuck that I wanna know where I can find the book on the right
harry potter
I think the book doesn’t exists
It would be an interesting read tho
If you were a librarian you'd know this.
>27
>too old
......ummm
what is your current education / employment
en.wikipedia.org
That user isn't joking. I had no idea being a librarian was so complex
You'd just be working in a homeless person daycare center wishing you just worked in a fucking office full of normies.
Sounds like a reverse Steppenwolf
