How much do you think you deserve to be paid at your job right now? Are you satisfied with your job and salary currently?

No job, full time student, but a hell of a lot more than I do get. After tuition alone I get a whopping 102.96 to last 3 months and that doesn't include the anywhere from 200-1,000 for books and supplies. Big pimpin right?0

I am underpaid for the job I do. I should be making at least $1.5 more per hour, and considering I've been here for two years - the raises that would come with that. >:(0

The thing about jobs is, even when you are in a really well paid job, its never enough. people always want more. a few years ago i had a job on which i was making a lot of money, about twice what i am now. i was still skint come pay day. you just buy more expensive **** you dont need. I think the secret is to learn to be happy with what you have, because when it comes to money, too much is still not enough.

Short answer - no
I've slowed down how fast I work now, I figure why keep working fast and taking on more and more of a workload when I've never received a raise? Not worth it. I've decided to keep my productivity level the same as my wages - if my boss decides to up my wages then I will up my productivity.0 -
About $50,000 a year more! I own my own business and work at least 70 hours a week but, as it can't afford to pay it's own bills, I haven't been able to get ANY wage for 4-5 months.0

DEFINITELY more. I'm a teacher and have had about 3 paycuts in the last 4 years.0

I am a business broker.How much do you think you deserve to be paid at your job right now? Are you satisfied with your job and salary currently?
I sell businesses like a real estate agent sells homes.
I get exactly what I deserve and would never have it any other way.
The ONLY way I work is 100% commission.
I have not worried about job security for a second - even in the worst of times.
LOVE IT!0 -
I just got a raise because minimum wage went up. I should get at least $12.50 an hour. I have no benefits or insurance I should at least make a few dollars over minimum. I do make tips and that is what I really depend on.0
-
I'm not satisfied with my job or my money...I would like to make at LEAST $5 more, and a totally different job lol. But I get paid very well to do a very boring job, so I can't complain until something awesome comes along.0

Oh man I haven't done 1 thing today. NOT ONE!!!0

Good point, I'm going to be trying to live a little like that soon - I'm getting paid pretty good (for me anyways), but soon I'm leaving this temp job to live in the mtns, getting paid less, in a more expensive area to live, and paying double rent for the house I have leased right now. But I'm still stoked to be living somewhere new, with a new job, and new people to meet. I'll be just making enough money to cover rent and food....and I'm excited!!0 -

I totally agree with this.
All i spend my dosh on in the main is necessities and live within my means.
My salary is shocking for my position and trust me, i am a senior accountant on £17,892 a year..... hence I am handing my notice in tomorrow 0 -
I am tragically underpaid in my job. Comparing what I do with others in different areas of our state, and in other states, it kind of makes me a bit upset at times.
I work with grant programs. I'm the one who does all of that icky stuff once someone gets a grant - the reports, the monitoring, knowing the rules and regulations, getting the funds, getting after folks who try to do something they shouldn't. Been doing this for about 25 yrs, and as all things in the world of finance, the times have changed, and the workload is much more detailed.
When I started, my job was a 'secretary' job. I am still in that category, although a recent job study placed me OUTSIDE the labor union I'm in.........so, right now, I'm in limbo. Am hoping this gets resolved soon, cuz I'd take a bump in pay And I plan to retire within the next 5 yrs or less, so want to leave this job in the place it deserves!
Dang....sorry for being so long-winded! This has been a sore subject for many years with me :sad:0 -
At my current job, I get $250-300 per week on full time.
In all honesty, enough to survive on.
$1000 per week or so would be good as I then could move out as I really badly need to.0 -

haha love it! me too!!0 -
I'm self employed...a beauty therapist and i could not be happier. It is my perfect job.
Yeah i could do with some more money since i'm still living with my parents, but i'm ok.
Typically, it is a very underpaid job though. Normally minimum wage although therapists train at college for a couple of years and it can be late opening and on occassion undesirable....the unwashed masses and the overly horny men. At least you know that the beauty therapists are doing their job for the love of it haha xx0
