It's Good to Be a Librarian
January 9, 2010 - 7:00pm — birdie
Librarian is the 46th best job for 2009...according to the Wall Street Journal. Five criteria determined ranking...environment, income, employment outlook, physical demands and stress. However, it is clearly not among the best paid positions by far.
Best? Actuary. Worst (out of 200)...would you believe 'Roustabout'??

It WAS good to be a librarian
I just retired but I would do it all again in a flash. So much to do, so many interesting changes in libraries and in higher ed. Never bored. What's not to love? Paid a living wage. Not a Goldman Sachs wage.
