<p>a lot of my friends want to do a MLS and the trick for them is they’re all Virginia residents, where no institute of higher learning offers one. Thus, they’re going to try to get in-state tuition in line with who knows what law. Maybe that applies to you? Other than that, I haven’t heard of any funding for MLS, and my friend who works in our library system (UVA’s) tells me horror stories about how much her colleagues with their MLS are in debt. But they all have steady jobs! :</p>
