My academic adviser just told me that I'll have a "diverse set of skills" when I graduate, in reply to the e-mail informing him that I want to take advanced cataloging and libraries, lit, and young adults next semester.  He added that it will give me good flexibility when looking for a professional position; my personal interpretation (not of his intention, just of the words) is that I lack focus.  Because I do.  I really, really do.

Still banking of cataloging being what gets me a professional position with benefits after I graduate.  Children and youth librarians--hell, regular reference librarians--are a dime a dozen.  No one wants to catalog.  Except me.  I go into libraries and mentally re-categorize everything while I'm browsing.
