I am going back and forth between wanting a general degree and a degree with a concentration either in cataloging/organization of information or in special libraries. My questions are:

1. Is it better to have a general degree to keep your options open career-wise or is it better to have a concetration in something in order to stand out for those few jobs?
2. Is there a need for cataloging or special librarians?
3. What do most students specialize in?
4. Are there any catalogers or special librarians out there that can tell me what they like/don't like about their jobs?

Some info about me: I have worked in Government Documents at a private university for 3-1/2 years as a library assistant and for 3-1/2 years as a student assistant. I don't see my future in Government Documents, or really in an academic library at all. However, I do enjoy my "behind-the-scenes" work and being able to work independently. Therefore, I don't think I would enjoy circulation or reference where I have to be around people all day. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
