This isn't new by any means. It was one reason I swerved away from the profession after getting my MLIS degree almost twenty years ago. I like books, I don't want to be a babysitter or a first responder. Of course the other reason, very much related, is that the pay isn't great. I had a graduate degree and didn't make a living wage, and looking at the salary ladder I wasn't going to be making what a first-year developer made for like... 20 years to ever.
But I still go to the library almost every weekend.

It's really depressing that the skills I have that are worth the most are those I learned as a child, but it is what it is.
