If you ever questions why you chose to work for pennies at the public library, this article should remind you.

Thank you for sharing this, I missed it in my daily glance through the paper.
I question my decisions, if I had stayed where I was when I graduated college, I would be making a lot of money comparatively. But I also would be stressed out beyond belief and stuck in an office with little interaction outside of the same people every day. I'm glad I made the decision to become a librarian and happy that I ended up in the public library.
