The hell? Yet you still have companies complaining that there aren't any good candidates.
Dumb bitch. It never occurred to her that her degree was worthless? Never wondered why other people in school seemed to be studying and stressing over tests and, like numbers and shit, while she was getting her worthless degree?Newberg says, is that she did everything she was told she was supposed to do -- went to college, went to graduate school -- and still, she's waiting tables.
What the fuck?!?!went to graduate school in library science, an area she thought was practical, so she could become a school librarian.
Only thing better is a masters in liberal arts.
For full disclosure, just a bit of info on me:
I worked for a startup many years ago, a computerized legal research provider. We were a very highly regarded company in our market. In addition to writing one of the releases of our flagship product, I oversaw a project to digitize hundreds upon hundreds of Westlaw volumes using state-of-the-art scanning, OCR, and verification software. Prior to computers, legal research was an arcane, time consuming process limited to those who had weeks on end to sit in a library going through dusty books. Computers put the law into everyone's hands, it no longer belongs to the high priests of knowledge who have the luxury of spending all their time with their noses in books.
How about African American Studies? Athletes major in that a quite a few universities. That degree is worthless. What can you do with it?
Yet another lets shit on liberal arts majors thread.
The hell? Yet you still have companies complaining that there aren't any good candidates.
Is that because of that thing where companies doing the hiring want to pay an engineer $10/hr and then complain that there aren't any reasonable candidates available when no one takes them up on the offer?
Or do many of the graduates just suck at it?
only about 30 per cent of employed individuals in Ontario who held a bachelor's degree or higher in engineering were working as engineers or engineering managers
by a wide margin, employed individuals with bachelor's degrees or higher in engineering did not work in their field of study compared with those with medical, law, nursing or education degrees;

I'm afraid you're wrong. Computer software is getting scary good, scary fast. Google has known more than the average person for years and been able to competently bring up information on topics. You think if it could do that years ago for the average person it will never be able to better everybody? But don't take my word for it.The above bolded is pure unadulterated bullshit. Google will never be able to make the kind of connections to legitimate research that trained Librarians can. Huge amounts of information and knowledge are not listed, quoted or. referenced online. In fact, the majority of human knowledge isn't even mentioned in passing online. The ability of the human mind to direct inquiry, integrate seemingly unrelated facts and, broaden the scope of research will NEVER be bettered by Google or any other computer based system. We've had this discussion before, you were woefully ignorant then and apparently haven't learned better since. It must be comforting to have your world view defined and, all possible questions answered by Google and wiki. If idiocracy comes to pass, you have only yourself to blame.
Do you keep up with that part of the software industry? A good friend of mine is involved in a fairly high profile startup that is doing its best to utterly wipe out most of the legal profession by commoditizing their work. It's fascinating - the parallels between the floors upon floors of accountants that used to exist before a single computer replaced them all and what's happening to lawyers right now should frighten anyone thinking about going into that line of work.
My wife was a librarian/archivist. She liked it well enough, but there was very little challenge to the job and absolutely no advancement (once you get a job as one, you tend to stay in it for a very long time and not move around). She got out, took a role a database administrator and has already doubled her pay. If you can't beat 'em...
You can't use software to commoditize things where the constraint is that a live person does it because the law says a person has to do it. Low value-add bullshit legal work perhaps, but you can't automate a corporate counsel giving a professional legal opinion for example.
Wrong, SOME of it is available online. You can get access to a huge amount of material that isn't available online through the library system. You're quite right that if something isn't available on the monitor in front of you, for all practical purposes, it doesn't exist (sad, isn't it?). Gee, if only there was a way to get access. Naw, that would require leaving the basement. Who am I kidding?
no, but the fact that you no longer necessarily need lawyers to, say, pore through tomes looking for random obscure laws/loopholes when you can do it with a good search engine instead is one of the reason the legal profession is seeing such a downturn.

There is no hope for people like yourself....
You are so ignorant. You and most people in this thread are totally clueless as to what a school librarian does or is. In the library they are the teacher, and that is what district forced her to do without the proper title or certification. It is illegal.
Can you please stop posting?
I mean in literally all of the threads. Just stop posting. Don't do it again.
One issue many districts have closed down their school libraries. Librarians have been transfered to classrooms as regular teachers. Students no longer go to library to check out books or study. The reason is budget. During the crisis they had to cut teachers.

Because of course it did.One deep learning tool, after watching hours of YouTube, taught itself the concept of “cats.”
Some aspects of engineering will sure change. Give the computer the task you want to accomplish, and it'll evolve an efficient solution to the problem.In the coming years computers are going to be sport-fucking a lot of careers. And not just shitty little ones like this woman deserves for being an absolute moron, but ones that heretofore have required a lot of schooling and experience.

In twenty years we have moved from almost completely worthless search engines that did nothing but index key words manually typed into headings in a web page to being able to pull back answers to complex questions.
How anybody can pretend humans will always have an informational edge on computers when a computer has already been able to best, for example, guys on jeopardy who are human encyclopedias at the 99.99 percentile, is really beyond my ability to understand. Maybe a librarian could help me figure it out.
I have no sympathy for this woman. She deserves it for being stupid. For somebody who feigns an interest in research and information she sure as shit didn't research the fact she'd be waiting tables with that bullshit degree. And it does make me mad because why are we still doing this? Why are we still sending kids off to get these shitty degrees? The guy at work next to me with a kid currently failing school is failing a shitty degree to boot. He's just throwing money in the toilet.
I do have sympathy for people who will see their jobs eradicated by computing over time who made a good faith, reasonable effort to get a good career, but no sympathy for people who are getting degrees like library science, sociology, etc. All the classic detritus degrees.
