Thank you for all the responses! To answer some questions, yes I am looking at being a School Library Media Specialist. Whichever degree I choose, I would want one with the school certification program. I might want to get the MLS in case I want to work in public libraries later. But at the moment, I see myself staying in schools so I am definitely open to the idea of a technical education degree. My main focus is getting the certification since I'd like to further my career working in school libraries.
I currently have my Bachelor's in Communication. Unfortunately, I would need to do a full program instead of an accelerated one for people with an education background. The programs I need seem a bit limited right now in CT. The librarian at my school did an accelerated program. The other Library Media Specialists I have talked to obtained their degree from SCSU before they lost their accreditation. Feel free to give me e-mail out to anyone you think would be able to give advice. I'm feeling a bit confused about it all right now haha. I figured this would be the best place to ask for some advice :)
