BA degree first and then graduate degree, Master's in Library Science. One must have an interest in detail research and the desire to serve the public at information counters or in classrooms. This takes daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly planning where one each day works a small amount on each project or activity heading towards completion at some point in time. Must handle many patrons at once at the service desk which requires a quick mind and patience. Committee work takes preparation, articulation of ideas and points of view, people skills, and patience.
Teaching requires exactly the same as committee work.
These are all major stresses which are the challenge and fun of the work. Stress can be a positive factor if one knows how to control it. It is rewarding when people learn and are satisfied with the learning and information they receive. It is satisfying to see students grow in maturity, decision-making skills, and knowledge. It is a very satisfying job because the results are before you.
