Re: job market



Sylvia and others,

Here at Oregon State University, where the Archives is not part of the Library,
Archivists starting pay is at least $4,000 less per year than librarians.  I
guess they studied harder to get their MLS than I did to get my MA.  And the
union (nor the administration for that matter) can't seem to see the
relationship or similarities between Archivists and Librarians.

Enough griping - back to work.  I DO like my job and would like to keep it, even
if I do have to borrow money from the office soda fund to put a little gas in my
car to make it to payday.
