US News put out another list of top careers this week. Apparently they determined there are 31 careers with exciting futures. Among those listed were:
The say average librarians make over $50k a year and are steeped in technology and research activities. If you get into usability (and Library Science is listed under that description as a relevant qualification) you can expect an average salary of over $90k and a warm glow from watching people happily interact with your products. I would not get too excited by this list (or any list, really); they also think hairstylists and locksmiths are top careers too. By your equals, ye shall be known. That said, it’s certainly encouraging to see these types of positions actually considered futuristic and rewarding. More importantly, it’s encouraging that the compilers notices that a degree in LIS might actually set you up for more than one great career.

I think librarians and those interested in the many facets of the career might want to consider podcasting. As yet another avenue for information technology and information dissemination and delivery.
Becoming a professional in this facet of the career might benefit from professional voice over training, due to the fact that any time a recorded voice is heard, chances are that professional training has been implemented.
So happily interacting with products comes through wherever the many legs of the technological end can take a professional.
