[Genealib] Why public librarianship?

[Tracy Luscombe]

Because its not all about making money. I left a career in Convention
Sales totally burned out on the pressure to make sales regardless of the
cost to integrity. I had thought I would go into a corporate library,
but soon learned those people still work 60-70 hours a week and they
first place a corporation cuts budgets is in their library staff. I
worked part time in a Public Library branch while working on my MLS and
found I liked helping all ages find the information they wanted. I would
like to go to an Academic Library but am finding with only public
library experience my resume' doesn't get past the HR office.
