Shelving is oddly soothing! I'll still volunteer to do a cart or two between semesters when we're short on student labor and the backlog is piled high.

Although I certainly learned things in library school that I use in my library work, as far as I was concerned, the degree was the price of admission, the piece of paper I needed before anyone would even look at my resume.

These are my feelings on library school, too, though the number of classes in which I learned anything useful, relevant, or even accurate is significantly smaller than the number of classes I was required to take. Oh well! At least we came away with the magic letters behind our names. :)

I'm rooting for you in your job hunt. There's really no other career quite like this one!
