If someone, say, i don't know, me, moved from canada to portland would my 4 years of canadian experience count towards me getting hired in your department? :shifty:

We actually have a hiring freeze at the moment. :(
I thought you were cool man :( :P.

It's your degree field "Library Sciences"?
I wish I had gotten an MLS.  Librarians make a ton of cash, adn a lot of them don't seem to have to work hard to rake it in either.
PDH!

Where exactly do librarians make a ton of cash? And I guess, more importantly, what sum represents a "ton of cash"?

Part of me wishes I'd gotten an MLS too. Some of that coursework would help in the career direction I am exploring.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

From my experience, the library field is way overcrowded.  My ex-girlfriend got an MLIS at the University of Pittsburgh (one of the better ones, I think), and was working at Borders until she got a job at some Three Stooges archive in suburban Philadelphia, which is pretty cool I suppose.  A lot of her friends didn't have jobs within a year of graduating.

Ones here at the university star tout at 60-75k/year and just keep acrusing more.  They are tenure-track faculty and there are no pay caps.  Since so many of them have been here forever there are a number topping out at 125k a year or there abouts.  Some in Boston make more.
PDH!

I think freezing would be a good investment.

Well, it seems that they're going to send in the Cossacks to disperse the Vancouver occupation.  I approve.  Hopefully many hippies are slashed.
