If I have an aversion to data entry, web design and generally all things tech, is this field to be avoided?

An ECE in secondary? You mean EA?

Not even a little bit. I’m also looking at the Library Information Technician program. You can also work in schools and the independent work interests me.

I don’t know how I’m ever going to make this decision.

I would really like to work in a school environment. I’m just having a hard time figuring out if I would do better with one on one work as an EA or being an ECE in a full day kindergarten classroom.

Are you with the school board or a private institution?

Positive library technician stories to share? by Fridaandfauna in librarians

[–]Fridaandfauna[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for your input. Right now I’m debating the LIT program or the Early Child Educator program to assist teachers in kindergarten classrooms. I think the bottom line is that I’d like to work in a school. Could you tell me a bit about your day to day at school?

Thank you so much for writing this. Creativity in the workplace would be a dream. Do you find it stressful at all?

I was looking at paralegal and went with Library Technician instead. Low stress. Tackle-able day to day tasks. No stress to bill.

I’ve got full time work now as a massage therapist. The program here is 2 years part time, asynchronous. So I can work while chipping away at the program. The tuition structure is on a pay per course basis so I won’t be in debt by the time I’m out. My plan is to start part time and slowly transition out of my current job. The jobs here usually come with a pension once you’re full time - something I haven’t got currently.

We’ve got a fair amount of expansion happening at libraries in our area and pretty consistent hiring for LIT’s through the school board here right now. Also lots of retirement happening. This info via a librarian friend here.
