Jobless Rate Climbs to 5.7% as 51,000 Jobs Lost in July
August 1, 2008
As of Monday August 4th 2008 I will have completed all the requirements for an MILS. I should be partying. Right? I should be saying meet me at Bleeker and 4th and let’s party like its 1999-the year I graduated from high school. Why am I not in the partying mood? THE ECONOMY IS AWFUL! Now I have to pay back my student loans- like a lot of you out there. I feel like I am falling off a cliff, or being thrown off the ship!
School...School is easy. Do your work. Do the reading. Show up and participate. Here is your degree. I will love working as a librarian. My interests in children and young adult services have been growing for sometime now. I want to do this in the public setting. While this what I am aiming for now, the dollar is going to be making decision for me soon. Will recommend a good book for food.
Reflecting a little on my time at Pratt Institute, there are some classes I wish I had taken- more technology classes and more traditional classes like cataloging and the like. Fortunately auditing classes for Pratt SILS alum is only 200 dollars, which is doable. Just because I am graduating doesn't mean that they are getting rid of me so quickly. Can you tell I love school? Okay I am a little nerdy like that.
Here is a link to the recent NYT article about the economy.
