Depending on what you like to do, library wise, there are actually a variety of non-traditional jobs available. While traditional and academic library jobs are scarce and highly competitive, you can check into law librarianship and other jobs in the information management field. A variety of different companies have discovered there's value in data management and research.

I got my Master's Online at University of Pittsburgh (I live here, so I could have gone on campus, but I worked full time while completing my degree). Provided nothing's changed, they do require one weekend a semester on campus, the rest is through Blackboard. I was already working in my field (I manage the donor database for a nonprofit), but the degree helped me to get a new and better job with a more professional standing, away from the place that treated me like an unskilled automoton. If you like mucking about with information, I highly recommend you check out the Special Library division of ALA.
