"I think it started with your perception about this course. As a librarian, it opened great doors for me in the education sector. There are lots of opportunity in this area. In the UK currently, it is under the higher skilled jobs. My career as a librarian was in Nigeria and it opened doors for me. There are lots of libraries to work in, school libraries, special libraries etc. do your your research you will be shocked. There are other things you can do. I am currently a careers adviser and I got to this point from becoming a librarian. Librarianship made me realize that I can do more. I am still supporting the library in my current place of work and will do more when I have time. You need to look deep and explore options more."

"Date and Information are used mostly in organisations. Keeping, storing and analysing data is part of the course. All you need to do is learn few softwares and evolve. You don’t have to work in a library."
