Re: CA and Jobs-Which is it Lucinda?

Tom--

      I swear that I am gonna stop responding to inaccurate interpretations of my comments after this--  HA -- Au contraire, hiring people without appropriate credentials is not my point, but hiring individuals with appropriate credentials was my point.  I was arguing for hiring professional archivists and professional librarians for those two top jobs as a point of professionalism and, yes, pride for our respective fields.  I am not the first one to point out these hiring anomalies over the years.

      Tom, I can appreciate that you were trying to be funny.  But, you twisted my words about the CA being an unnecessary credential to joke that obviously archives and library educational credentials, training and years of experience in the field are seemingly unnecessary credentials to fill the top positions in our two related fields.  I did not say that.  Do you think that political appointees should be hired over qualified professionals?
