Best careers of 2009 includes librarian — really!
US News & World Report includes “librarian” among its “best careers for 2009. Aside from the annoying writing style (“They may even get to put on performances, like children’s puppet shows, and run other programs, like book discussion groups for elders!”), this is worth reading for the comments alone — which range along predictable lines from “don’t go into debt for this crap career,” to “librarianship is one of the best-kept secrets, I love my job.”
So what do you think — “best career” potential here?
Edited several hours later to add: If you come down on the “crap career” side of the equation, don’t miss Stephen Abram’s comments.
