Is it worth looking into Rover around here?

I don’t know the prospects for Rover, but student workers in the library get paid about $11/hour. (Positions will be advertised starting in April.) Do you think you could do better than that on Rover? You might also have increased flexibility for when you want to work. There are tons of dogs in Brookline, but it might take some time to establish yourself as a trustworthy dog-walker and command high fees for walks. It never hurts to try it out and then decide whether you like it.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
