Maybe you should list in detail what's required of a librarian's job. I could only go to NLB's job posting website and see some job vacancies. Honestly doesn't seem too difficult to do, biggest requirement is more job experience for senior roles. No salary numbers so i don't know.

I think this whole nonsense started because I made a general comment earlier that one only needs a diploma to be a librarian and advised the TS not to bother to study for a Masters if he just wants to be a librarian.

Somehow certain person(s) seem to take grave offence and latch on to that tiny minority (maybe 1% of all librarians?) of niche librarian positions in specialised institutes of higher learning that required a degree and turned this whole discussion into a librarian cheer leading contest.

Just to make it clear, I meant no denegration to librarians in general, but in the context of TS's predicament it really makes no sense to waste time and money going for a Masters degree if his/her intention is to take up a role that generally requires only basic tertiary education.
