15 interesting facts about Wikipedia

I'm a fan myself, within reason. If it's important, it always a good idea to have multiple sources - that goes for any starting resource. Also, I think it's an amazing goal, and they/we have come an amazing distance towards attaining it.

Job uncertainty


cc licensed ( BY )  flickr photo shared by CarbonNYC

I am once in the position where I am not sure what I will be doing work-wise on the other side of the holidays. At the beginning of the year, it seemed like the next twelve months were laid out ready to go. It really is true: if there is one thing you can predict in life, it's unpredictability.

I have spent the last couple of years trying to keep as many doors open as possible, but I am starting to wonder: what exactly is it that I want to do? What kind of library do I want to be in? Who do I want to work for? What part does money play? Where could I make the most difference? What should I be doing now to help me get the job I want in the future? What kinds of job are likely to be available to me in the future?

Some of these questions I cannot know the answer to, and the rest I do not know the answer to - yet. I am living with the hope and trust that it will become clear to me before too long, and that I will end up in the right place...

If you think you can help me to know some of these answers, feel free to let me know!
