You were in a public service profession?

That is a mind-numbing concept if ever there was one.

Are you sure you had "professional training as a college librarian"?
From what cereal box did you get your degree?

No wonder you didn't have a career as a librarian! You obviously
missed the reason for libraries!

LIBRARIES ARE WHERE YOU GO TO LOOK THINGS UP!

Geez!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perry has got it half right, but at least 90% of the students who are in
college should not be there. They are way too stupid for anyone to waste
time on them. All they want out of life is to maximize their incomes and
they think they can do that if they have a college degree.

As a librarian I would delight in steering the student in the right
direction, but I would absolutely refuse to do any of his work for him.
The main function of a librarian is to provide the resources - period. It
is up to the student to figure out how to access those resources. The main
problem with most librarians is that they want to be TOO helpful. I never
made that mistake and I would give the student a good swift kick in the
pants in order to get him to do his own freaking research.

Of all the students I have ever had the misfortune to deal with, there
were only about 10% that were worth bothering with. All the others should
have gone to a trade school where they could end up like Perry Butler, a
blind man leading the blind.

Truth to tell, I am an elitist and believe that a college education ought
to be reserve for the privileged few. I am a European at heart and I do
not believe in this American obsession with education. All that most slobs
need in this world is a high school education with a trade school thrown
in at the end so that the working man can get an income from their
miserable jobs. Real education and real life is reserved for Great souls
like myself.

The unexamined life is not worth living and that is the kind of life that
most men lead. I give you Perry Butler as an example of what I am talking
about.
