Abstract

I was previously employed as a Certified Criminal Defense Private Investigator. Now I am a professional librarian. Whenever librarians discover my previous job title, they immediately ask why I would leave such an intriguing field to become a librarian. The two jobs are not quite as contrary as one might think. the two jobs are not quite as contrary as one might think. My father finally convinced me that being an investigator was too dangerous, especially since our firm exclusively handled murder and drug investigations for
criminal defense cases. So I transitioned into the field of librarianship as a way to utilize my research ability and to retain the satisfaction of helping people.
