Recently took School Library job, will it hurt my career goals?
Hello! For context: I recently took a library media technician job for an elementary school. (Right towards the end of the school year haha I know, but it is what it is) I love it so far, but it's not what I studied for and it doesn't fit what I think I'd like to do in the long-run.
I recently acquired my bachelor's degree in entertainment art/2D animation out of all things (c.o. '25, I'm 24 years old) and went to school thinking I'd be making art for a living, but after working at my uni's library for a year I became curious about corporate libraries/archives, specifically in the entertainment industry. This school library job was the only one I could land after months of applying and working a little part-time admin job for an afterschool program, so I took it, but I'm a few weeks in and I am worried this job will pigeon-hole me into K-12 work and disqualify me from the flexibility of pivoting to other kinds of libraries.
I know I have the gift of time as a 20-something, but I still can't help but feel a little worried that I made the wrong career move by taking this job. If anyone has advice or encouragement, I'd love to hear it. Thank you!
