I too received the looks of disdain because I did not have current library experience. Like I wasn't passionate about being a librarian and all that it entailed. I am now at the point of considering going back to school to become a teacher. It makes me sad though to give up my "passion" for helping people find information. The pro though is I will no longer be twiddling my thumbs in the hope of finding a job where I can see the amazement of learning how to read or just learning anything.</p> After graduating in 2007 and applying to multiple jobs in and out of the state and having only three interviews I don’t see a lot of pro’s in the situation.
