This evening my supervisor at the library was asking the standard questions about what I plan on doing after graduating, whether I want to go public or academic, and I gave my standard answers about how I love working in an academic library because the reference work is challenging, but politically and socially I am very much in love with the idea of the public library, to which my wise supervisor replied:
"Well, yes, but you can love the idea of the public library and still work in an academic library. You don't have to work in a public library to support the concept, you know."
Hm.

What if you worked at a public academic library?
Yes, Hm. He had a good point.
The other thing I think you should do - even before you grad, so you could make more money now - is sell to some newspaper(s), the idea of you writing a column for them. (Do you have to be in journalism to do that?) I think you've created a lot of 'addicts' to reading your blog, and are quite capable of writing a column that could (help to) sell newspapers! Exactly what the focus of your column would be - I'm sure you could come up with something!
