Last year I started a new career as an info pro at a local community college, after teaching for 22 years. I am very happy that I've made the change, because research, and dealing with information and ideas, is truly a labor of love for me. At the same time, however, I am aware that having a Bachelor degree in English and teaching experience aren't really relevant to research, and that having the relevant qualification is going to become even more important in the future as the discipline of research becomes more saturated with practitioners. Therefore, I want to start making plans now to upgrade my qualifications so as not to risk falling by the wayside in future years. Accordingly, I should be extremely grateful for any advice on how best to develop myself academically (and in terms of experience as well) to best be able to achieve success in my new career.
