Why did you become a librarian?
After working several years in a research lab at an area hospital, I was looking for a career change that would make good use of my background and interest in the sciences. Reference librarian with a specialty in the sciences was a perfect fit and I was lucky enough to land a job with a chemical company that supported my effort to obtain the appropriate MLS degree.
