And as for the corporate world -- I
have worked in a public library, academia and corporate. I have never felt
so needed and so able to make a difference anywhere as I do in the corporate
world. I am well rewarded for taking the risk -- we have no guarantees of
lifetime work after all and justify our existence annually. That is not a
bad thing in any type of institution - it enables us to prove to our employers
that we are professionals, that we do make a difference on a regular basis and
are deserving of better income.
I am in complete
agreement with the above. In the corporate world I believe that I am making a
difference and they appreciate it. More and more I see the private sector
searching out the professionals in records and archives management. They may not
know what a CRM or CA is for that matter but they want one on staff if that will
put them one up on their colleagues.
The private sector
has been bery, bery good to me (to paraphrase Chico Escuela the great SNL
ballplayer). Any way the private sector has taught me how to do cost estimating,
project management, strategic planning, budget estimating, RFP development, cost
benefit analysis, formal presentation skills, classes in the various MS products
(WORD, EXCEL, PROJECT, POWERPOINT) as well as LOTUS123, PARADOX, WORDPERFECT,
DISPLAYWRITE, you name it they have paid for it. Even paying for attendance at
conferences such as ARMA, AIIM and SAA and other seminars and classes that will
ultimately provide a benefit to them. Why because it makes me a better and more
knowledgeable employee. I receive OJT on network setups, email configurations,
bandwidth constrictions, magneto-optical vs RAID arrays, etc. I could go on but
I think you get the point.
Sure when I am ready
to retire I would like to work at a historical society or some university. So
put down the lightsaber Luke We are all on the same
side
Finally I have
enjoyed this thread immensely, but I must get back and finish a
presentation due next Monday for a major medical center. (I
dread eventually tackling the old musty boxes due to book-lice, snakes,
rabbit, raccoons, etc as well as asbestos and lead) what was that about
ties? <G>
