Yes, but I guess this is the prelude to some shakeup. Tai may graduate and find another job (or be fired because she dropped out of her studies). Without Tai to protect him, Marten will be fired because he is not really qualified for his job (unless Claire gets Tai's job and continues to employ Marten). But I really think it is time for Marten to try to find another job. Then he could also start dating Emily  :-D

I like the "librarianing" term. It is Claire's dream job, as evident here.

Barmymoo:
I don't see how Marten isn't qualified for his job. He's a library assistant. He puts things on shelves, he uses a computer, he tidies up and tells people to stop messing around. What qualifications do you actually need for that?

bhtooefr:
I suspect that the job description likely requires a bachelor's degree in a related field, and his is not related.

Well, these these university library jobs seem to be a similar level to Marten's, and only require averageish school qualifications and no degree.

Though I suspect an applicant with no degree hasn't the proverbial snowball's in hell as there'll be avalanche of applications from unemployed graduates.  Including the unambitious who liked the student lifestyle and think a university job is a low-stress, ersatz way of continuing it.

I would say having an unrelated degree would be little hindrance to getting one of these jobs, though it would be a hindrance to being promoted to better jobs within the library.

Rhymeless:
I think BH is correct. A lot of assistant librarian jobs where I live require at least an associate's degree (really, in library sciences? wha wha?) and the people with the title "Librarian" all carry bachelor's degrees.
