On this note, I recently replied to a library student who said the Masters program in Columbus was unstable. I'm not admitting to gray (don't talk to that hairdresser downtown), but we're not going to work forever, at least I'm not. I'm looking forward to possibly retiring in 4 years, at 52, with 30 years of service and moving on to some related line of work. Are there enough library school students to take our place, or will this be a convenient way to *consolidate* positions (read: hire one person to fill three jobs)?
