Suffering

>>1458294
> Study history at university
> Profit from up to 5 academic libraries near my school
> Vast amount of online sources shared among these libraries (and other among the world)
> My teachers constantly send me authors and books to check out
My situation would be perfect if only I could get a job afterwards.

Being a hobo has never been so worth it

I didn't study history at university, but I did spend most of my library time reading historical shit that had nothing to do with my classes. I really miss having quality academic libraries, JSTOR et al., and a decent interlibrary loan system. I spent so much fucking time cutting class and reading in the library.

I think that's the trouble I'm finding outside of university life. No free access to JSTOR, no endless networks of libraries to borrow from, no professors to constantly send me recommendations.

Uber
That's my plan.

I'm not fond of Uber for some reason. Plus, my country is setting up diverse laws to kick out Uber so I wouldn't rely on it.

My plan would be to get a diploma as an archivist and to work in that field. There's something about shelves filled with books that is appealing to me and I would love to work in that field. I'm also thinking about pursuing a master and I'm working towards making it happening but it's something I'm still thinking about.
