The only other more worthless degree is Master of Library Science - like you need a masters degree to check out books or do information requests!

Well there is a bit more to an MLS degree. Checking out books is something the work-study students do at a college library.

It’s pretty stupid, but good luck getting a library job without one...for some reason.

Staff at my local library is flat out worthless. My daughter worked at a library for a few years while in HS and college. When we moved to a new town, she was appalled at the low level staff with LS degrees.

She applied and even with 4 years experience, they weren’t interested in her.

I disagree...there are many degrees tied for “most worthless”.

You likely have never had to engage in any detailed research projects. If you had, you'd soon find out that many of these "librarians" are actually highly-skilled archivists, whose efforts have saved many a scholar or researcher or investigator. Some archivists are worth their weight in gold.

1st hand experience with that one. Not me though. I’m a couple of tech colleges product.

One of those tech colleges had a teleproduction program that I took. 6 or 8 classes and I got a job at the new SCETV headquarters soon after graduation.
