Ah yes, you know all the stories about Peter Finklestein, world-famous archivist and organizer extraordinaire? No? Well that's not surprising, considering we just made him up. We tried to find a famous archivist to tell you about, but we couldn't find those records #archivisthumor.
The truth is, you'll be spending eight hours a day in a dark room hunched over a computer screen or a stack of papers, checking, referencing, cross-referencing, cross-checking, refcrossing, and occasionally (but only temporarily) shutting out all human interaction in the pursuit of a better way to organize. These aren't really prime conditions for getting your face on a billboard.
Of course, maybe you happen across some antique essay on badger farming that was co-authored by Thomas Jefferson. All the local papers want to get your story. Half of them spell your name wrong. But at least you're kinda famous. Enjoy it while it lasts―after a while the only person who will know that the articles were even written will be you. Well, you and the person who filed it away in the newspapers' archives (ironic, don't you think?).
