I am wondering if anyone has experience working as a librarian in a career college? I have worked in two now, and am displeased with the education level of those in director positions and teaching positions. I have an MLIS and have over seven years experience in libraries, so when students in career colleges are being taught by non-degreed instructors, I find it difficult to truly express my concern about the education level the students are paying for. Has anyone had such an experience and if so, any suggestions on making changes in an un-used library?

I am not familiar with the term "career college." Is this like a junior college, technical school, or community college--i.e. is it a 2-yr school that awards associates degrees? If so, this does not sound "normal" to me.
You don't say where you are, but I know that in metropolitan areas and the adjoining areas (50 mile radius) that the education/quality of instructors and the library staff are generally comparable to those of 4-year institutions.
I think we all need a bit more information to effectively reply.

Career colleges prepare you for a specific career, trade, or profession. It's like junior college.
