I must draw your attention to your comment about "a real job."  I am very proud
of the work I do at OSU and consider it to be a real job.  The pay is not
commesurate with similar positions in the corporate world, however, that does
not mean the work and fulfillment I receive is not real or worthy.  A volunteer
job can be a real job also.  I have never learned so much in my life, nor felt
that I can really make a difference in a student's attitude.  I believe I
consistently provide students with up to date
information (more than they were aware existed), new options,
a listening ear, and have them leave my center quite often with a smile on
their face and a feeling that the "trip to my area" was worth the extra
walking.

Occasionally, I have become frustrated at times, with the staff or other
departments and
with paying the bills.  I will confess that I have made similar statements
about needing a "real job."  But the benefits like the internet access, the
free
tuition, the easy access to knowledge, the computer training I am receiving,
and the valuable experience I'm gaining with supervising others
really do compensate in my case  and I make do with doing my shopping at
osu.for-sale group and other creative means, and really do not "want."

Thus, I thought, for any other frustrated staff who stay for the students and
not the high pay, perhaps they might also like to express the things they too
find rewarding about working at OSU.

btw, I do not mean to make light of your situation at Meijers.  I sent a
message to this group earlier, expressing my consternation and suggesting some
possible options.  I hope to hear more about this as further developments come
up.  I love email!  Well, my morning break is over, and I must get back to "the
job."!!  Jenny Finnell, PACE Library  (CCS-Ohio Union)
