Librarians better enjoy it while the position still exists. With computers, that's not a profession long lived! ESPECIALLY at a cost of $88K plus benefits!! WOW |

Temporary blip. once librarians ramp up to nw technology and technique they can be even more valuable in sifting through the endless mountains of data effectively. (web, lexis nexus, journal libraries, government open data, etc). |
Librarian here. Yes, I am beginning to feel like a dinosaur but we are still needed. Keeping up with technology is key. However, I get by but I am not nearly as interested in technology as I should be. Lots of librarians retiring. Just a matter of whether or not they will be replaced with MLS librarians or support staff. |

More foolish and stupid assumptions about what librarians actually do from the uninformed and clueless. Nevermind that they teach, budget, purchase, classify, supervise and evaluate sources/books/electronic subscriptions daily. They don't start out at that rate in Montgomery County, by the way. The $88,000 is after numerous years of work and a masters degree. I am amazed that you actually think $88,000 is alot of money. You must be young. Look up what many teachers make in Montgomery County and you will see the same salary after so many years of teaching and several degrees. |
Boo-fucking-hoo! In the real world an employee at 7-11 does more than that before a Librarian even gets out of bed! People around here think that just because you have a masters degree that it automatically makes you smart. I know plenty of people in this area that have the degrees, but are just as unknowledgeable as people that don't. It also always amazes me how people deduct that longevity / tenure should automatically mean that you deserve a lot of money. Librarians are teachers who decided to take the easy way out. Ask a real teacher and you'll see what I mean! |
$88,000 or $52,000 is alot of money in this area? ![]() |
