It's not a question of difficulty, it's just supply and demand. People in toronto aren't too keen on reading books I hear.

having a certain title doesn't mean you work harder and deserve more. there is a certain someone on my floor at work who has a much higher title than i do and he's lazy as shit. i make considerably less but work considerably more.

To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

All of the people I have worked for in my field are Doctors of Chemistry/Materials Science. They work much harder than any librarian and so does everyone in their research labs be it post docs, grad students, or undergrads. I couldn't imagine working as hard as they do. Teaching classes, running labs with millions of dollars of equipment, flying around the country to present new research, and constantly having to write grants for funding. They make just slightly more than a librarian.
Now if they left academia and worked in the private industry they would make at least twice as much as any librarian and work half as hard as they would at a research university. Just illustrating that sometimes working harder doesn't make you more though it should. Like you said you work harder but make less.

I'd personally find that kind of work a lot easier than flipping burgers all day. Mostly on a psychological level.

definitely depends on the industry. i give it to you on the research bit, those jobs are tough. my best friend since high school has been on the research trek since we were 16 and that girl works harder than anyone i know and not rewarded for it in terms of compensation.

I thought I wanted to do it myself, but you really have to be in it for the some other reason that I can't come up with.

one of my friends got her masters in "library science". she's now working at the physics library at university of Iowa
