Cons of being a Librarian?

The job of a librarian is far beyond the conventional idea of just putting the books in the shelves. Some of the cons associated with the job are:

- The job leads you to a sedentary life style, thanks to long sitting hours
- It is rarely that you are paid well enough. Though the average salary is not bad, sometimes you can be hired cheap.
- It is usual that you are underrated, as a general perception.
- The job is not stable in the times of recession. Recession not only cut down the income or the position but also depletes the existing resources due to the lack of materials which even includes books and papers, the bones and blood of any library.
- It is sometimes difficult to deal with people.
- The job also becomes stressful, when you are the sole in charge of the management of a big library.
