[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I made $143k at the nonprofit I quit last year, so I suggest you fix your resume and get out there and beat feet to a new job[/quote] I make $130k as a senior manager at an international health NGO. I’m 50, have done this work since I graduated from college…with a degree in English Literature. I went into the Peace Corps, then got a MPH, and I’ve gotten a promotion every couple of years. I went into this work assuming I’d never own a house and would eat lots of beans and rice, and it was still worth it to me. I own a house, pay my bills, and save for kids college. I don’t regret my career for one moment. OP, your problem is that you are in admin, not that you are in NGOs. Switch to admin in the private sector or a fed and you won’t make any more. You need an additional skill set, and then you can advance. Figure out what you want to do, and go do it.[/quote]
