You know how you were often asked the question when you were in grade school, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I hated that question, because I really didn’t know for sure. And the only answer I could come up with at that time was that I wanted to be a jockey, racing thoroughbred horses. Ha. Look at where I ended up, as a librarian. That was more accidental than anything, anyway. It wasn’t something I ever felt “called” or “destined” to do.

Now, I am proud to be a librarian. But I still sometimes wonder what I want to be when I grow up. I wonder, more exactly, what’s next, career-wise? Should I just stagnate and become something that I have always held in little regard, the drone working 9 to 5 and living just for vacations and weekends? What else can or should I do with my career?
