I have a natural knack and inclination for cataloging. I did it for about 9 months a few years ago, cataloging science articles for a technical library. There I was surrounded by books, with a ocmputer, text to quickly gather the highlights from, summarize and derive key words about...no people to drive me crazy except my co-workers, surrounded by information, hard science mainly in the biological fields, and quiet. I was in heaven. Too bad it was a temp job. If I were a young person starting over, I'd probably go into library science anyway, because cataloging is something not a lot of people like to do or have the knack for.

I'm always happiest surrounded by books. Hubby and I are wracking our brains out trying to figure out where we can put one more book case...that would be our 8th....I keep saying I'm going to do a proper catalog of them; I have software that can do it, and I can even get most of the pertinant info off the Library of Congress' site, but I haven't gotten a round tuit yet. Ah well.
