What comes after my MLIS?

Now that I'm finishing Grad School with my MLIS, what am I going to do with my life? Well, it turns out that it's... complicated. It's been a busy month -- I went to two conferences and also moved house -- and on Friday I'm done with school... FOREVER (probably). I haven't found a job yet, but I've got some ideas... !

I love the sentiment "it's an exciting time to be me." I think that's a thing we should acknowledge more often! Congrats on all the exciting things that happened and are still to come.

I just submitted all of my app materials for a MLIS program. I know the feeling of job hunting all too well! I just graduated with my MA in English this Spring. I got lucky with a cozy office job, but looking for something a bit more demonstrative of my skills I've gathered in grad school. Your channel, in part, gave me that push to research and try to see if getting my MLIS is right for me.

Congratulations and good luck!

Being "done" with being a student is SUCH a weird feeling. When there were breaks - actual ones between semesters or the much longer one before I went back to college - there was always that lingering "but wait, there's more!". DONE-done is...different. Sure, more might happen, but it's no longer the plan or internal expectation, and it was an unexpectedly strange transition. Still not sure about me, but I'm sure you'll continue to do cool and helpful things as your non-student self.

Surely it's too early to have a Christmas tree up!

Oh and good luck with finishing!

Never say never -- you could get a PhD! It happens to the best of us...

Did you do an online curriculum for your MLIS?

Wow I thought you were already done with your master's and were working as a librarian.
