Why do we stay with it?



Hello again!

While I have only been a member of this list a (relatively) short time, I
have seen many posts - some that show archivists thrilled with their work
and happy to talk about it (i.e. presentations on the profession to
elementary school children) and other messages that grumble about bosses,
"RWA's", etc..

I am doing a presentation for one of my classes about why archivists stay
in the profession in spite of the grumblings - what keeps us motivated.  I
am interested in what motivates *you* to stick with your profession and
whether or not the place that you are working makes a difference in this
decision.  You can reply to me offlist & if anyone is interested, I will
compile the results & post them onlist.

Thanks in advance for helping me liven up my ol' Powerpoint presentation
(don't you love those?!).  :)

Sincerely,
