Question Hi,
I was thinking about applying for a Library Aide position at an elementary school. I have an associate degree in Business Admin, do you have any advice?
Thanks!
Teresa
Answer Why not? I have an MBA and I am becoming a librarian. I think that you would be a real asset to an elementary school library. You could teach the kids about all kinds of important things like how different businesses operate, about different occupations, how banks work, how the economy works, how money is minted, etc. in addition to answering their other questions. Working in a school library as an aide will give you the opportunity to introduce the kids to all kinds of wonderful information both in print and online. Go for it!
