Ideally, I would've done both. But I applied to one school's English program and another's YA librarianship program, and the English program was the one that offered me an assistantship; the librarianship program didn't even call me to interview for any of the scholarships or assistantships.

I really wanted to do archival administration for museums, but after taking classes in grad school (cannot relate how boring those classes were) I knew that it was NOT for me.
