A few things:
- I’m not a cat person really, but I love this classic video.
- I know it’s supposed to be funny (and it is), but I love watching it before having a nap! Somehow I find it soothing and relaxing, and it puts me in a sleepy calm state. (Weird)
- This woman is EXACTLY how I would look if I were in drag.
LOL to it all! :D

I know I said librarian was my back-up plan in case math or sex work were dead ends, but Zack’s steps makes it sound both attainable and awesome…
HOW TO BECOME A LIBRARIAN
Many of you have asked (well, namely just thisjelly and radagast), “How does one become a librarian?” Here’s how!
- Get an undergraduate degree. Doesn’t matter in what discipline; could be in English Literature, Chemistry, or Environmental Science. Most Librarians I know have a background in the humanities or social sciences.
- Though not requirements for becoming a Librarian, I think having an interest in the following are helpful for being a good Librarian: have an interest or knack for technology and web 2.0, like to work with and help people, enjoy information retrieval (finding stuff), and feel a kinship with books (jk).
- Go to grad school and get a Masters degree in Library & Information Science (or similarly named) from an ALA accredited university.
- Get hired as a Librarian! Librarians exist EVERYWHERE: public libraries (obvs), university libraries, law firms, many levels of government, private sector, non-profit sector, research settings, etc.
- Replete your wardrobe with a combination of fashionable AND grandpa cardigans.
When these 5 important steps are complete, then ta-da! You’re a librarian.
He even LOOKS like a frat boy!! The more things change…
