Ten reasons to be a librarian

You totally get to classify things.

Where else are you going to ruin a person's day over a 20-cent fine?

The funky glasses make you easily mistaken for a hipster.

You can make up whatever you want and people will believe you just because you're a librarian.

Ten reasons not to be a librarian

Who wants to go to grad school for two years to learn theory you will never use?

Those little punk teenagers on skateboards.

People kind of expect you to know things.

If you know enough about how to find information to be a good librarian, you can definitely make more money doing something else.

I love my job.

What makes librarians unique - I thought all grad school involved theory you'll never use.

"You can make up whatever you want and people will believe you just because you're a librarian." LOL!! Sweet!

Of course it does. Ours is just even greater bullshit b/c we can sling it to the public and they'll believe us because we're librarians. ;)

Snort. That's why we do so well in Trivial Pursuit and Jeopardy. ;)
