If I Major in Information Science Technology with concentration in library?

If I major in Information Science Technology could I apply for jobs like being an office assistant like a secretary or receptionist. However I was also wondering since this is a broad major, some people tell that I could look into research jobs. That I don’t necessarily have to work in a library and that I could even look into medical research jobs if I really want to get more specific. I was also looking into information center jobs, but I heard because of this economy the govt is cutting some of those jobs.

Information Science is a pretty marketable major. Lots of companies have corporate libraries and need someone to manage those resources. They also need people to manage documents. All businesses need to manage their information in all kinds of ways. Having a broad major is actually good, so you’re not limited. You could even help to manage information that will go onto a company’s web site and be involved in that kind of department. Good luck!

    I think you’d be more than qualified for office assistant jobs. The library concentration probably won’t help much with that though.
