Thanks goodness, I am a bit of the best careers 2008 in my life. A little bit of librarian, training specialist, editor, high education administrator, professor, system analyst and lastly usability / user experience analyst. Basically, this is what I am doing in my daily job in the academic library. Of course, on the other side of the dark force, in reality, I am just a trainee librarian. If you are asking what is life being a trainee librarian. It is just to be get bully by the senior librarians. Not all of some of them, who like to just delegate task and job to the trainees.
And not all trainees are just trainee. What is a trainee can develop a intuative system, able to write a research paper, able to focus the technology market and able to social network across the world? I guess these trainee librarians will have and face a stronghold from the dark forces. Anyway, in my academic library, most of the trainee librarians are starting to write research paper and going to conference. If the senior does want to proceed, the trainees will do show casting their work to the eyes of the world. Intersting, right?
Well, below are the best career 2008. Or perhap, library would be a Best Careers for a Changing Job Landscape as described on the article. Or is it due too …
The increasingly digitized world. Americans are doing more of their shopping on the Net. We obtain more of our entertainment digitally: Computer games are no longer just for teenage boys; billions are spent by people of all ages and both sexes. Increasingly, we get our information from online publications (just look where you’re reading this), increasingly viewed on iPhones and BlackBerrys. An under-the-radar career that is core to the digital enterprise is data miner. Online customers provide enterprises with high-quality data on what to sell and for individualized marketing. Another star of the digitized world is simulation developer. The growing ubiquity of broadband connectivity is helping entertainment, education, and training to incorporate simulations of exciting, often dangerous experiences. For example, virtual patients allow medical students to diagnose and treat without risking a real patient’s life. A new computer game, Spore, allows you to simulate creating a new planet, starting with the first microorganism.
