It’s a Bally wallet. I really liked it so it’s sad this is its status. I know I may sound overexaggerated but I like taking care of my things. Any way to solve it? Any help is appreciated.
Senior from good state college in the Northeast. Finishing my BA in History. My GPA is decent and have experience within libraries (still working in my local one). However, I want to shift towards corporate jobs, and was additionally thinking about going for a post-bacc in accounting to obtain the necessary credits to go for a CPA. Within that said, part of this has to do with the fact that my history degree, albeit useful for either law or other careers, is quite limiting. That said, does Deloitte hire liberal arts degree holders? Do they hire people with post-bacc certificates? Any advice is helpful. Thank you!
Because if it is the first then I really am quitting this abhorrent game. I’ve been a player since InstaLife, literally saw the game grow up alongside me, and I don’t want to pay $5.99 or whatever just to get new stuff. I have Bitizenship + GM and it’s like, the boxer thing was all I was asking and it was horrible. You couldn’t get Fame out of it. I hope the director thing is like the other. I really want to keep on playing but this is frustrating.
Hey everyone. Currently working as a library assistant and finishing up my BA in History here in NJ. I genuinely love the field. The natural next step for me would be an MLIS (looking at University of Alabama or Buffalo online, since they're the cheapest ALA-accredited options other than Valdosta) to become a full-time librarian. My library experience already helps, and I've even been networking with law librarians and other private sector positions for MLIS to see if there are more lucrative options outside of public libraries. I'm also interested in archiving too and have ILL/cataloging experience.
I actually want to be able to buy a house one day. I definitely don't want to live paycheck to paycheck for the rest of my life either. So, I'm heavily considering a hard pivot into accounting to go for my CPA. (I'm looking at hacking together the 150 credits using the UNA post-bacc program, some community college classes, and CLEP exams to keep costs low).
For those who stayed and got the MLIS, is the financial stress worth it for a job you find meaningful? Or does the low salary ceiling eventually drain the joy out of it? Has anyone pivoted towards other careers other than librarianship? Any advice would be helpful, thank you.

The title says it all. Itching through itching. I have tried Calmoseptine, doesn't work. I have tried some anti-itching gel, hurts and works for a bit until it doesn't. I don't know what to do. I drink water, eat fiber, have gone to the doctor. It happened before and then it closed but it reopened again and I don't know what to do with it. It hurts so much, it itches and it's really bad. What do I do? Any advice? :"(
UMPI really started a movement. Another regional campus from a main state university is doing this.
(Yes, I know WGU has done it before, but these are public institutions. Just shows off the greatness of doing it this way).
Won't deny, I'm trying as much as I can. I also am doing odd jobs once in a while, some doordashing once in a while. I'm about to get my BA hopefully this fall, loans-free. After that, I was thinking of going and getting an MLIS (Library Science).
Any other part-time options maybe? Also got an Associate's, haha. But yeah, all okay so far. Sometimes I think a trade would've been nice, just a BA in any interest and a trade that would also increase my salary and probably help me in the long run, but choices are made. I'm thankful for everything. I like libraries and archiving... The experience helps. I don't like engineering nor any tech or math thing, not even law. Still, there's more options too. However, I don't know what I want to do. I definitely care for a better income but honestly don't know what to do. I could go for an MLIS at any cheaper ALA-accredited program but I don't know. Any career advice would be greatly appreciated.
The title is a bit preposterous. I do know more or less what I want to do. However, considering the current present where we are as a society (at least here in America and maybe in another parts of the world), the job market will only get more competitive.
I'm majoring in History from a well-ranked regional school here in the Northeast. Not that it matters. Right now I work part-time as a library assistant at my local branch, and I was thinking of going for my Master's in Library Science and Information (the cheapest/online program accredited from the ALA) and focus towards either finding entry-level jobs at law firms or corporate... However, I don't know if that is the right decision.
With a humanities degree, I don't know exactly what to do. I definitely want to think about a career and future, I want to travel and be able to live comfortably. Any advice would be appreciated. I don't know what other jobs I could get with a BA in History and while the soft skills are real, I do feel a bit tad limited.
Hello everyone! Currently going at TCNJ (The College of New Jersey) for my undergrad, about to finish and looking to get into the Master of Library Science program but don’t know whether to do it at UB or UA. Was wondering if anyone had experience with UB specifically? I'm thinking online but still, would like to give it a shot and see if anyone have gone for it? I know Alabama’s great. I already have 3 years of library experience in a public setting, however I want to shift towards knowledge management/archiving.
Pros of UA:
- Tad cheaper than UB.
- Great program. Know people who are in it. They love it.
Cons:
- Not that it matters but I’m in the Tri-State Area and have asked to my director and she said it’s best if I do a program close to here due to job recognition and stuff. She pushes me to go to Rutgers but I plan on entering this Spring and Rutgers don’t offer merit scholarship nor grants until the next Fall. By the way, why do everyone ask me if that is qualified here in NJ? As long as programs are ALA it doesn’t matter… right? Don’t know why they’re being snobby.
- If I graduate, I definitely want to go to Alabama for the commencement. On the other hand, I don’t know if I want to take my mom there (she can’t fly, we are not white, and the road trip will be long, haha). NOT AS IMPORTANT PLUS YOU NEVER KNOW.
Pros of UB:
- Also online. Just a lil tiny bit more expensive, like 2 grand more cuz I’m OOS… But if I get scholarships which I was told I can still get for the Spring, then it’s absolutely worth it.
- Tri-State Area program recognition.
- Has a lot of different classes too And different concentrations more than UA.
- Not that it matters, you never know… But if there is a commencement, I can do that.
Cons:
- Apparently there was a time its accreditation was conditional. Since 2020, it’s back to normal. Does that matter? It was never taken. Just conditional.
- Haven’t seem much of it. Have asked about it with UB’s admissions, they said good things but I haven’t heard from much of it online, so don’t know the experience.
Ultimately, I will check financial packages and go for cheapest irrelevant of anything else but point is, anyone has experience with Buffalo? Thanks again!

Hello everyone. 23M, American, finishing my Bachelor's in History. I recognize and accept that my degree isn't very needed. I have experience working in public libraries, and I'm planning on going for a Master's in Library Science + Archiving. Which again, I understand, isn't very needed. However, I would love to, in a respectful manner, find out which other career path I should look for if I want to move to a country in the EU and adapt myself.
I speak Spanish and Portuguese fluently, and I am well-versed in French. I can defend myself Italian too. My German could be better, but I can definitely defend myself in French and Italian, with French being a tad better. Spain seems like an obvious no-brainer, and my grandmother lives there. However, she can't request me as she was a naturalized citizen (long story short, she just can't). Nevertheless, Spain is going through a crisis, and as much as I wouldn't mind, plus also being a double citizen of Ecuador and having an advantage if I can reside legally for 2 years, I am not skilled for any job that Spain may need. Which is why I'm here and wondering which jobs or career paths are needed. I have thought of Portugal, but similarly, it's also going through its own crisis. Same goes to Italy.
I do understand the frustration that this forum may get with many people either thinking the EU is one huge country, thinking English is enough, and/or thinking a pathway to Sweden, Norway, or Denmark is as easy as buying a one-way ticket, which again, is not. Finland and northern Europe, as beautiful as they are, are clearly not looking for more immigrants. And that's okay. However, I do want to fully integrate myself into Europe. I am very realistic about my chances too. I would love to skill up and see whether a pathway towards Europe is possible. I am proud of finishing my undergraduate, although in a humanities, but still, I want to see which career pathways are in high demand. Additionally, I understand that immigration right now is not seen in a nice manner. However, if I immigrate, I do want to adapt myself towards the culture of the country I plan to live and hopefully raise a family there.
Any advice is appreciated. Countries like Germany and Austria would be difficult if I don't speak German, but language-wise, although tricky, can still be possible with enough practice and discipline. I am thankful I am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, but furthermore, thankful I can defend myself in French, which opens Belgium, Austria, and Switzerland. AGAIN, I do understand it's not as easy said than done. However, I am thankful for any advice whatsoever. Thank you so much.

Hi everyone. I'm 23, young guy, whatever. Live with mom. Single mom. We've been there. She recently lost her job and even though I work and go to school, it ain't enough. Anyways, for the last couple of months, we've been Doordashing and stuff. Our car is old so it only has a CD player. I literally bought Madonna's CDs, Erotica, Celebration, ROL, True Blue, among others, and those albums have been the soundtrack of our life recently.
Her work is really impacting. I always loved her since I was a kid and my mom was a huge fan too. However, I don't know, especially as a queer person, her work is really defining and does make me proud of my orientation and my identity as a person. Recently got her album earlier (shipping things...) and just put it on. It's really good guys. I won't spoil it but honestly, it's among her top 5 best albums of all time. I'm really, really in love with this new album.
Anyways, those were my thought today. HAPPY RELEASE DAY!!!!!!!!
Hello everyone! 23M here. I work in a library and have worked in one for over 3 years. Still finishing my Bachelor's at The College of New Jersey (one more semester, yay!) but with that said, I have thought about the future. My major is History... So, gotta think wisely. Law is not it as of now. Which is why people around me have influenced me to go for an MLIS, which I believe I would enjoy, especially for the archival aspects, or simply because I love people and helping out.
With that said, I am in NJ. Rutgers has been recommended to me but... It's so damn expensive. I don't have student loans, thankfully, but as a first-generation, I also don't have people that would help me with that kind of money, nor I want to be in loans forever (especially as we know our industry pretty well). It would be online, 100%.
If it helps, I am interested in three industries/positions: archiving, cataloging, or law librarianship.
Which is why I've been thinking about different options.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much!

University of Alabama: cheapest option, probably the one I would absolutely go for have it not be for the fact I wanted to see whether other programs are worth it. My favorite so far. It has an archiving concentration. It's also cheap. Secondary-wise, now I can finally have a say in college football season... Maybe.
Rutgers: NJ's flagship state school. I would still have to pay and from what it seems, it's pretty expensive. My boss have told me that they offer up to half the tuition off or even full tuition aid. Now, I don't know about that, but I also happen to be on the "under represented" category in the library industry, being Hispanic and first-generation and also trilingual. I don't know if that's beneficial scholarship-wise. Additionally, it's my state and it would help me here but... It's a lot of money. A LOT. Expensive. And as much as I love libraries... I don't think the amount of debt would be worth it for the same ALA-accredited degree.
University at Buffalo: close to it regionally, additionally being a tad bit cheaper than Rutgers but like, still a bit more expensive than Alabama. I was researching and it has a law librarianship concentration, which is quite interesting. There's a joint degree too with a JD... But I got to find more information about it. I haven't researched more about this program, but from what I've found, it seems okay. Then again... I don't know if paying that much more and being in more debt is worth it compared to Alabama.
University of Maryland: my professor's daughter said she loves the program and apparently has a joint program for an MA in History... This is among the most expensive programs out there. I don't know.
University of Washington: Best MLIS Law program. Most expensive MLIS with Syracuse. Don't know if it's worth it. When I say I'm poor, I mean it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much!
