    I'm sure it'll be worth the wait for KH3. Meanwhile 2.8 will provide a good few weeks of new lead-in content. Making things even more confusing than they already are.

    The time is upon us...

    That's what KH does best! ;D

    The job market is really a pain in the rear. It shouldn't take 100s of applications to find simple work, especially when you have all the right qualifications. I know someone who has gone back to school because he couldn't find work with his degree. He had a rough time finding even a retail position. I can't even...

    I happened to get super lucky with my library job, and I'm the first to admit it. I'm in the same field as my mom, and she allowed me to gain experience when I was younger (I helped her stamp books, shelve them, do basic mending, ect), which helped a lot. I also happened to be ready for the job as the city was hiring more; its much harder to get in now.

    I really hate that people don't get back to you about stuff you apply for, too! It's really not that hard, especially if you have an online database thing that people apply to. There must be a way to send an automatic reply to everyone saying the position has been filled or SOMETHING! I interviewed for a job in December and didn't get it, but the guy was nice enough to call and give me some tips for future interviews and let me know that he thought I would fit in well with his team but they had other applicants with more experience in the particular area. It's just really lame that you usually never hear back from people. =/

    I know it's really difficult to get a library job here, too. That's so cool that you get to work at one! :D

    It's an amazing job, and I work in a really nice library with great people. It's a blast getting to know the patrons as well, and getting kids hyped about reading. I'm hoping to work in a school library after college and promote the love of reading and learning (most schools want their library staff to have their library tech diplomas, which I currently lack). I'd still like to keep my city job though; it would be painful leaving it behind.

    But yeah, in a lot of places, libraries get their budgets slashed the second money becomes tight (which is dumb, but that's a rant for another time). Library staff also tend to keep their positions for a lot time, which also doesn't help when trying to break into that occupation.

    GAH, once I start about books or libraries, I can't freaking stop cx

    Those reasons all make a lot of sense as to why it's so hard to get a library job. I've always thought working in a library would be amazing! I'm glad it sounds as awesome as I thought! :D The librarians at my high school were always really grumpy! haha. My friend's mum works in a high school library and she seems to do a lot of really cool stuff. They had a huge Harry Potter house quiz event and everything. Sounds like so much fun!

    Haha, I had a grumpy library person at my high school too; she never smiled and always looked miserable. The field is really moving away from silent, stale libraries and making them fun spaces for learning, exploring, creating and chilling. It's pretty exciting c:

    BTW, the Harry Potter event sounds like a really cool idea!
