Ending and starting anew...all at the same time!

This time of overlap, this time between graduating and starting a career is exciting. I am moving to Rochester this summer and so far, there seem to be a variety of opportunities available that interest me.

I was hoping that library school would help me narrow my interests, but I think it had the opposite effect. I realize that the librarian degree, really prepares people for a variety of jobs out there, anything from working in a traditional library to working at a for a business coordinating communication and information.
