There are no guarantees of job offer(s) after graduating with any advanced degree..even a Master's of Business Admin from top universities...doesn't still guarantee a decent job.
To apply that degree and to benchmark oneself in a career, here is a pie-in-the-sky standard for those working in specialized resource centres/roles: http://www.sla.org/content/learn/comp2003/index.cfm The spirit of the standard speaks very well to the professional members who are dynamic and refresh their skill set throughout their career. Becoming an information professional demands that a person constantly learns multiple resouces, technologies in terms of design, teaching, and secondary research. It is about understanding user behaviour and usability of information products in addition to broader political issues of information literacy, censorship/access, privacy, etc.
Sorry, I just got home..from work and had my supper..will continue dialogue offline. Have to shower..
