saw this tweet and got hashtag Frustrated. not even at OP but at the conversation around it lmao
#library tag#like we need to step back and look at when we are crossing over from defending the legitimacy of the field#and into just straight up elitism!!!#like yes i'll always call bullshit on 'its crazy that librarians need a masters what do they even do'#but it IS crazy that you are expected to pour that much money into a career that you'll be scraping by on#AND ALSO these discussions always leave out the fact that its not always required#small town directors at least where i am DONT have to have a masters. bc the towns cannot pay someone w a masters.#and library assistant jobs vary WILDLY bc it is a job title that has different responsibilities depending on the library#not some singular universal title of library assistant that only means one thing ever#at a library w 3 employees total yeah maybe the assistants are running shit bc the director doesn't want to do it.#r.txt
