[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't believe my first post here in the forum is to disclose my salary.

DH and I both went to top journalism school. He has a BA, and I have a master's degree. When he and I graduated in 2010, he found a entry level TV producer job in Florida, work hour is 11pm-7am. Yes, the grave yard shift. And the best part? The salary--22K. To make things worse, I couldn't even find a job over there. I ended up working in another city 8 hours driving distance away and lived separately with DH for 2 years. I didn't get a job in journalism simply because the pay is too low. I found a job in an import/export company instead.

Now fast forward to 2015. DH found a job in DC. I am still working with my first employer. I got to work from home but the salary is only 40k. With an infant I only works part time so the pay is now down to less than 20k. DH's salary is much better than before (we are talking about 40k with 4 years of grave yard shifts) but it's still only 80k.

I am looking for a job right at the moment, that's how I ended up here on this post. Please, anyone tell me how to land on a job that pays as well as you do?   :cry:[/quote]

Well if you graduated in 2010, I am going to guess you are significantly younger than the majority of the people posting. By 2010, I had been working for nearly 15y. But like you, I also chose a profession that doesn't pay terribly well (I make well under 100k.) It takes time to build up your career and income! Good luck![/quote]
