"Doesn't this thread seem like a wake up call to be sure that, as
librarians, we mentor children and young adults who frequent our libraries
that our jobs might actually be careers for them?!"

Absolutely! All the time as I spent in libraries growing up, I never had a
librarian give any evidence that they thought I should be one when I grew
up, or show that being a librarian was fun and/or cool. In retrospect, that
seems very sad.
