      Lmao, you need a fucking masters to catalogue and check out books to local schoolchildren but you don’t need it to be trusted with a badge and a gun.

      We’re so fucked dude.

      Edit: Mentioned in reply to another comment, but sorry for making librarians sound like they don’t do much. My point wasn’t that they’re not important, my point was that they don’t make life or death decisions for random members of the community on the daily.

          I don’t doubt that. Handling large groups of kids, especially in the summer when they’ve got nowhere else to go, all while keeping a vital resource to the community alive.

          Admittedly that was a shitty way to paint librarians, so sorry about that.

          That being said, a bad cop can do a lot more damage to a community than a bad librarian.

          focusing in something IT-related

          Ok, how? IT-librarian? I can belive in IT-related assistant, but librarian? In school? Where I live they usually have degree in pedagogy.

          a library tech,

          Ah. Nvm. I thought you said about only librarians.

      Why master’s? But you WILL need a degree. Bachelor in Library Science, alternatively Pedagogy or Philology.

      It may seem odd, but librarians are pre-internet search engine. You tell them “I want I don’t know what, but something like that and that” and they point where to find such information.
