Do you never, ever shirk

The book Be happy at work: 100 women who love their jobs, and why features a school librarian:

This is not a boring bun-in-the-hair profession, and my colleagues are ... wild when we're outside the library. ... And library science is an especially great profession for younger people, because soon a slew of older librarians will be retiring.

At which point I stopped reading and started skimming. Other vignettes of interest (to me, anyway) feature a costume designer with an MFA who makes $25K/year in NYC working as a designer's assistant (hi, sis), and a software usability specialist. The book's nice in a chicken-soupy way.

You pretty much have to be an assistant to make that much money as a freelance costumer, unless you manage to find some excellent connections early on. Assistant don't have the out of pocket expenses that the often designer does. I did notice the Milwaukee Rep just posted draper and junior draper positions a roughly 600 a week plus benefits. Two more years...
