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>
