By the end of the year (absent further health drama) I will have earned my MSLIS and will be on the market for a professional library job. This is perhaps scariest: I&#8217;ve watched&nbsp;the job boards since I&#8217;ve started and lately jobs that look interesting seem&nbsp;out-of-reach with respect to qualifications. Also, everything I hear about library hiring suggests that nothing of value will be had from my&nbsp;25+ years of professional work in business and academia.<\/p>\n<p>No time like the present to get this all sorted out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This time of year usually brings some relaxation as classes are over and I usually take the summer off from school.
