The Economy and Job Forecasts

As my blog title suggests, "Don't Be Negative", is what I am standing by because for no other reason being positive is better. The economy and job forecasts are not as healthy as we would all like. People like myself have had to change careers and re-invent ourselves to provide for ourselves and our families. I changed careers and became a librarian and earned my Master of Library and Information Science degree while working 3 part time jobs. I delivered pizza for 2 years. And amazingly I still love pizza. But I am finally doing something I truly love doing. Maybe it had to get worse before it got better. Maybe in my case the recession was my saving grace. I am looking for a full time job as a librarian and I am currently working on a semester by semester contract basis at a community college library. I never thought work could be so much fun. I always thought that the people who told me they loved their jobs were pulling one over on me. But now I am living proof it can happen.
