Hi,
I have for many years wanted to do the Library Tech Diploma (I'm in SA)and now find myself in a position to give it a go, provided I'm accepted for admission.
I am 37 years old, my children are now at school and I'm sick of being in jobs (supermarket etc)that are not really what I'm interested in. I'm passionate about Genealogy & Family History & just love being in archives, local history rooms and history type museums. This has been my intense hobby for the last 17 years and I have experienced and participated in the move from hand written files, microfiche etc towards the internet & databases etc. However my hobby has been the only experience I've had so I really can not guage if being on the "other side of the counter" is going to be similiar. I've done many hobby type family history classes & really enjoy the classroom environment. Studying is going to require a sizable contibution from my budget just to enrol, so what I'm asking is if Genealogy, Local & Family History is what I"m really enthusiastic about am I on the right track?
Any suggestions, comments etc would be really appreciated.
