Is it really likely for an academic librarian to find work within their second masters/specialization? Everyone says academic librarians need an MLIS and usually a masters in another field. I already have an MEd. Not sure I would have specialized in that area, but if it works then that’s great. How likely is it that I will find an academic librarian position with my MLIS/MEd combo? Do I need to get another masters if I want to change specialization? My undergrad is in international Studies and I’ve maintained diverse interests. Is it possible to qualify for other specializations within an academic library with a graduate certificate and/or experience?
For example, I have my BA in International Studies and I gain fluency in Ukrainian and academic reading knowledge of Russian and Polish. I work in Ukraine for several years and for whatever reason good or bad, I am back in the states. I researched and wrote a book on some topic of Ukrainian history and contributed original research. It’s well received by PhDs and professors of history and Ukrainian/Slavic Studies. Would I qualify to work within a history focus in an academic library?
Another example, I get my ordination through a university nondegree program. I decide I really don’t need another masters in theology and my MLIS/MEd and ordination studies are sufficient, but I want to learn Greek and the graduate certificate in New Testament Studies offers the chance to learn Greek so I get a graduate certificate. Could I work in a theological/religion library or would I need a masters in theology?
How strict are these rules for academic librarians?
I recently finished my Masters in Molecular Genetics and since I prefer industry over academia, I have decided to go for a Specialization course in Bussiness but I am not sure which discipline would work best for me, my options include finance, management, HR management, Information systems management and marketing.
I'm in my first year of grad school. I have some leeway in picking my field, and I'd like to maximize my chances of finding a job.
Are there niche fields are out there, desperately looking for specialists that I could hop on the bandwagon of?
I have a background in ethics, epistemology, and logic (modal and predicate logic). I'm really quite bad at aesthetics, ontology, and philosophy of religion. I have an interest in philosophy of science, political philosophy, and philosophy of language, but no significant background in them.
Need help with my academic. Idk what im doing with skills. As for equipment slots, what type should i prioritize? THANKS!

So I am entering my Junior year and chose my specialization in Systems.
What kind of courses/internships/projects should I target so that I can focus my career in this area of CS? It seems most people here target Software development which is not an area I'm all that interested in.
Hey, just wondering if any of you guys were ever in academic probation at one point but still made it into specialization (science)? I had an absolute disaster of a first year, and things led up to me getting placed on probation and I got kicked out of my specialization program. I'm currently finishing up my second year in gen sci and I know I have at least a 2.8 now and plan on doing better. If I were to want to transfer back into my old specialization, does anyone know if I'm fucked because of my first year? I saw an advisor last year and she wasn't very keen on that idea... all she said was that I needed a "nearly perfect GPA" if I wanted to get back into my program and I shouldn't try, but the average I see on the calendar is 2.3-2.7 to get in and it just didn't seem right because she kept telling me not to even try and didn't say much else.
Anyways, to sum this all up I guess I was just wondering whether it really is the end of the road for me and wanting to specialize. I really fucked up first year but I improved a lot this year, but it's still miles away from a "perfect GPA". Thanks guys
EDIT: I got the wording wrong. The exact phrase from ALA is "Science Librarianship." And these schools offer it. . University of Alabama, University of Arizona, UCLA, University of Hawaii, Dominican University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Indiana University, Simmons College, University of Michigan, Wayne State University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Toronto, University of Tennessee, and University of Wisconsin-Madison.
I realize I'm imagining an extraordinary situation here, but humor me.
I’m diagnosed with autism and generalized anxiety disorder, and according to several online IQ tests (not the most accurate, I know, but I didn’t want to pay hundreds of dollars for a professional one), my IQ falls somewhere between 135 and 140 (so in the highly gifted range). I also likely have ADHD and am likely hyperlexic as well, although I haven’t been professionally diagnosed with either.
I am asking this because I feel like a lot of people see being a gifted kid verses being a special ed kid as two completely different extremes, but there are many of us who overlap between the two. I would love to hear others’ experiences with being academically gifted special ed kids. Perhaps we could even start a subreddit!
