[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Team OP here.
Why can people on this board engage in endless discussions about ivies etc but can’t entertain an honest question from a concerned parent of an average kid?? I think I can imagine what you are describing ... might she be a good librarian? Op there is every reason to believe your kid will be fine when you consider all the paths to success but I think it’s also normal to worry. [/quote]

You need a master’s degree in library science and it’s actually quite competitive to get a job as a librarian. Demand greatly outstrips supply of jobs.

You’re probably thinking of a librarian aid which is a minimum wage job.[/quote]

Librarianship today involves utilizing databases to perform complicated searches. It is very technical work. May also require knowledge of foreign languages and copyright law. It is not just. Standing behind a desk checking out your books. And now libraries actually have self checkouts like at the grocery store [/quote]

I agree with this. Some of the smartest people I know are librarians. They generally have at least a master's degree in library science, and many of them went to grad school in library sciences after completing grad degrees in other fields. [/quote]
My relative is a librarian at NIH. She has masters from GW (expensive as hell), so, yeah, it's isn't just 'checking the books out'.[/quote]
