I typed
http://www.bls.gov/ooh/home.htm
into my web browser.
In the search bar, I typed in
“librarian.”
I clicked on the first link that came up
about librarians.
Once there, I could see that the
median pay was $54,500 per year
and the job outlook was 7%.
My main question was “What are the
education requirements?”, so I
clicked on “how to become one.”
By doing this, I was able to see that I
would need a master’s degree to
become a librarian.
