[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you still have to have an advanced degree in library science or educational media to work in the Montgomery County system.  I know the previous two media specialists in my daughter's school had MLS degrees.   Would the money be any more than what you are earning in IT?[/quote]

OP again - I have an old MLS but would need to do a year-long specialization program.  The money would be a bit less, but I would have the same schedule as my kids (and husband, who is a teacher).  [/quote]

MCPS Media Specialist here:
I had a traditional old MLS and worked in a research institute, public library etc. After having children, I went back and got certified to be a school media specialist in the state of Maryland.  I needed @ 6 library science classes and 4 general education classes because I did not have a teaching background.  It was a lot of classes but I buckled down and did it in 1 1/2 years.  I immediately got a job with Montgomery County.  School Media Specialists is still a strong field in MCPS.  There are 10 current vacanies listed for next year.  Don't worry about the technology, you will get trained on how to use it as part of being a new Media Specialist in Montgomery Country. If you want to do it, go for it!  I love my position.  I work with every child in the school.[/quote]
