So I have a Chemistry major and math minor. I got a job offer as Market Research Assistant. It's temporary and rather low-paying but I'm sure it will be a valuable experience for me. Will having this experience for a few years help me set my foot in becoming a market search analyst? I'm interested in doing market research in pharm/biotech industries.

I'm hoping to get a contract in the next couple of days, but no one can clarify why some Universities use the "Assistant Teaching Professor" status instead of simply "Assistant Professor." I've heard that "Assistant Teaching Professor" is not as higher of a rank, but no one can tel me why or what the difference is. Your input would be most appreciated!

I want to be a librarian when I get older, but I have heard that it's hard to find a job as a librarian nowadays. However, I've also heard that, in the next decade, librarians will be retiring and the job openings will become good. This would be perfect for me, because I would complete high school, my bachelors degree, and my MLS in roughly nine or ten years. Does anybody know if this is true? And if not, how could I up my chances of getting the job?
