I'm hoping there are others out there who have assurance and advice for you...hang in there, and keep us posted!

I just read that in Mesa, AZ, they're cutting 87 school librarians over next 3 years; In MI (where I live) , i know of 7 districts who have "pink slipped" their media specialists for 2008-2009 school year. I am worried about my school loans and wondering if this degree will be worth anything next year. I am 50 years old and i don't really have time for things to turn around? I need a pep talk, any advice? Thanks, Christine I’m currently getting my master’s in library and info science (school media specialsit), but everyday i ask myself, will i ever get a job?
