How is 25k a year not poverity? Do you live in the armpit of america?
Your pay is going down every year whether you believe it or not. It's called inflation...How about that 5 year contract you signed...Well thats going to turn into a 10 year contract. There is this thing called "time value or money" do some research on it and get back to us.
How much did you pay to get in? Since you don't have loans and you've been here maybe a year, I'm guessing Mommy and Daddy paid?
Give yourself a few more years. You'll learn a few things. You sound like every newbie I hear saying how great things are.
Like I said before, your solution for anything is to complain and you continue to do so.
Inflation is going up for everyone, it doesn't matter what field you are in, nobody is really making anymore more money if you look at it that way.
Thats right, I was fortunate. Its not my fault but it was the hand I was dealt and I am going to play it accordingly.
If you do not like this industry so much....then leave it. It will be better off without you complaining and dragging everyone down. There are better paying jobs, yes, but I like working less than half the days of the month and doing whatever I please the rest of the month. Like I said from the first post, work rules and days off. I like the position I am in so I am staying.
