Good luck. I have an MLIS and I still don't know it any better than I did in 6th grade!

some questions

[ickledurl]

what has your MLIS done for you?
has it assisted you in job opportunities?

i'm seriously considering going back to school for one as well.
i just don't know if it's going to make a huge difference
or if a certificate will suffice...takes less years to do
and well, i've already got my fair share of college loans to pay back.

ack! decisions decisions!!

Real quick because my mother is here & I have a thousand things to do, but the MLIS/MLS/MIS is pretty much a requirement for academic librarians and archivists. I'd recommend working in the field as a library assistant for a couple of years first though. (Which I did not do and wish I had...)

xox.
