[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can everyone just get off the high horse about housing? If you can't afford a 1-br, you get a studio, that's what people do.  I lived in a studio apartment for 5 years after completing graduate school.  That's for a professional job that required a master's degree.  [/quote]

What year did you graduate? Is it possible your experience no longer reflects the norm? I would be willing to live in a studio but nor for over a thousand dollars. I have heard that Hill interns are putting two sets of bunk beds in their studios to save money, though.[/quote]

It was in 2001 and I paid $750 for a studio in Dupont.  My salary at the time was the princely 32K. [/quote]

Factor in inflation and appreciated values over the course of more than 10 years, you don't see how a nanny making little more than you made could be having a rough time? A quick search would allow you to see that studio apartments in DC are going for upwards of $1500/month+utilities. I'm a nanny with nearly a decade of experience, speak 3 languages, and a degree. I make around $40k. Like we said, you are incredibly out of touch. [/quote]
If you're as qualified as you say you are, and you make only 40K, you've got no one but yourself to blame. What's your rate? Why not higher?  Aren't nannies on this board swearing up and down that $25+/hr rates are very easy to find for one infant?[/quote]
