Why I become a librarian

Having worked in libraries for 6 years, it's time to reflect on why I started this journey.

1. Wanted to work in education, but not as an academic
2. Enjoyed the sense of doing something worthwhile
3. Liked the variety of the role
4. Enjoy the link to technology
5. Something very British about the job
6. Outlet for obsessive behaviours, such as the ordering of items
7. "fun" of finding things
8. Enjoyment of using libraries when. I was young, plus the traditional love of books.

I am sure if you asked anyone else their reasons would be more sophisticated, but I'm happy with my reasons.
