Need some advice about my job...

[sirrahbed]

Hi again Kristina,
After reading Michele's experience, I have been thinking about my comments about my years as an admin asist. Remember that I took this job simply for *enjoyment* since hubby was near retirement and I was not using my nursing or teaching degrees - so it really did not bother me that I may not have ben paid well. I started at about $10-11 an hour, raise was $14 an hour and the salaried position never materialized because of budget cuts and I only worked 30 hours per week.

I guess most of the things I mentioned still were good suggestions. However, I do agree that I was not paid nearly enough for the work I did and that may be the case with you as well?? It is hard to do all the tasks happily if you feel underpaid I am a perfectionist like Lizzie-Lou and Michelle and always felt stressed that the job was never done as well as I thought it should be!! I was hard on myself at all my jobs - but in this one - I did not feel the pressure because I did not *need* the job and it was a venture out of my career field - rather a curiousity about what I could do...
