I arrived early to an after-hours event at a library. Able to browse the shelves I checked out three books.
The beauty of working in a public library is that I can wear silver-coated pants and black platform Adidas Gazelles to the job. Plus use neon green eyeliner and lavender lipstick.
“This Must Be the Place” if you want the freedom to clock out on time, get generous paid time off, and possibly receive a pension when you retire.
The pay isn’t always so hot yet you’ll likely be offered a 403(b) you can contribute to for a source of retirement income.
This month I took a burnout quiz that revealed I didn’t have compassion fatigue. In the coming blog carnival I’ll talk about stopping high stress before it starts. Our work doesn’t have to create ill health.
We can S.O.S.–save our sanity and serenity before things get out of hand. That’s why I’ve coined the term The New Alt-American Dream: We can opt out of what used to be called “the rat race” and find the job we like going to.
Not everyone likes living in New York City. That’s OK. I recommend researching jobs in your local public library system. To become a professional librarian you’ll need a master’s degree. A clerk or computer tech person often only needs a H.S. diploma or GED.
