For the most part, I'd say no. At least not for public services librarians.
Every day represents a new series of questions and research, teaching and
learning.
That's why I wanted to be a librarian, and what still thrills me the most.
The down side to moving up to management is losing that daily interaction
and the changing environment that dealing with patrons brings. Instead, I
have to do budgeting, write, and play politics.
But I still keep my hand in with reference, and it makes my day to work
directly with a patron, if only for a few moments.
Sincerely,
Brian

Does this apply to librarians? or are we "different" than other jobs?
