Just wait until you see a university pull one of these:
Science Librarian: MLS & Two years of Undergraduate Science Course Work, B.S. in a science, usually ANY science, is preferred.
Humanities Librarian (at the same University): MLS + M.A., Ph.D. preferred, PLUS more fucking languages than would be required to earn a Ph.D. from that university. (i.e. Asia Studies Librarians, must be able to read Chinese, Japanese, and Korean; Middle East Studies librarians must be able to read Arabic, Farsi, and Turkish plus Hebrew if the university doesn't have a separate Jewish Studies librarian, when you could get an M.A. from the university with 4 to 6 semesters of ONE language and would only need to be able to read two languages to get the doctorate.
