Do you have a MLS degree? What career do you have/are you hoping to get with it?

I'm interested in nontraditional jobs in library science. I'm a recent college grad who has (until now) focused solely on becoming a psychologist. As much as I like working with people in the therapy setting (I've worked in military internship settings), however, I worry that I would find a future career as a psychologist too stressful. I've been reading about research librarian careers with interest. Not only will librarians be in greater demand as the older population of librarians retire, but their careers seem relatively low stress and interesting. At the same time, I worry that I wouldn't find it enough of a challenge/ nearly as fulfilling as a job that works as closely with people. Any advice, ideas, thoughts, etc from people considering the degree or who already have it would be very much appreciated!
