And for me the lure of lib school isn't so much the bookishness as the tech/info science part of things.
Ah, yes, that makes sense. I work in a library, see, just as a low-skilled "assistant", and when people who know me hear that I work in a library they're all like, "Oh, that's perfect for you--all the books!" and I have to correct them, pointing out that I don't actually get to *read* the books or interact with them in any meaningful way. I kept trying, for awhile, to make myself be interested in a library science degree, but I just have no interest in or aptitude for technology or science of any sort. Very good for you, that you do! I greatly admire people with useful, marketable skills.
I won't lie to you - the pending BA in English (this video is super-relevant) pushed me towards figuring out ways to pursue what interests of mine might possibly be marketable.
Yaaaay shitty economy and job market, I'm so excited to enter you!
