Career as a Librarian?

One of our discussion questions was how technology has begun to change the role of librarians, and it brought up some thoughtful questions as to the future of the profession. Before I decided to enroll in this program, my research pretty much said the same thing: that the number of jobs would remain about the same in the near future because many librarians will be retiring. I don't remember if technology was a consideration in the outlooks, however.
