What can you do with a MLIS degree?

I am considering going back to school for a Master of Library and Information Science degree. My background is in Health Information Management. I wish to advance my career by using this degree, but Im not 100% sure that this may be the way to do it. Does anyone have this degree, or are you working towards the degree? Will there be a job for me if I graduate with a MLIS degree? Could I become a professional medical librarian with this degree? Thank you!

You can absolutely get a job with a MLIS degree. In fact, the Free Library of Philadelphia is so desperate for librarians that you are guaranteed to get a job, and there is NO risk of getting laid off since it is a Civil Service job with the City of Philadelphia (local government). The main library in downtown Philadelphia has a medical and science reference section, but so do most of the branch libraries. The benefits are great, and it is a career that you can stay with for a long time!
