This has to do with the 'librarian' more than the hiring folks. You have 
to believe in yourself, what have done, and what you can do. Can't rest 
on a degree because it is useless. Almost no one is looking for a degree, 
they are looking for skills and experiences.

I have lots of students in corporate settings, webmastering, designing, 
librarianing, etc. They get their jobs because of skills, experience, and 
portfolios.

Thoughts?
