At the New York Public Library
- I would like a job at this fine library of yours!
- Uh... what are your qualifications?
- I know how to read. Well.
- Uh... Miss... You see...
- I know the Dewey Decimal System. Also, well.
- Ok ok, do you have a Master's Degree in Library Science?
- A what what?
- You need a Master's Degree in Library Science.
- Why?
- That's a requirement.
- Maybe you haven't noticed, but I come here ALL THE TIME, and I always reshelf all the books that I read, not like those barbarians who just throw Frank Herbert in the same pile as Chaucer!
- So what you are telling me is that you want the New York Public Library to pay you to come here and read?
- That is correct. I can start right now.
- Are you checking those books out, or will I have to call security?

i know you are just kidding but once i actually tried to get a job as a librarian and they told me that i needed at least a master's degree possibly a phd. those jobs pay like 25 grand a year but it's a sweet deal because you really do just get to sit around and read all day.
That's not entirely true. I have a friend who works at the Brooklyn Public Library Grand Army Plaza, and it's a tough job. Because you have to deal with the people all the time, and help them use the computers and find stuff. The pay is really low and it's an exhausting job.
Unless you work in acquisitions. Then you have to sort which is such fun and no, they have not automated that at least in CUNY. If you do have a PhD in the said science then you have to purchase new books based on the library journal/professorial recommendations, balance the miniscule state alloted budget and occasionally deal with morons (but I think that's a hazard at any job).
