I can understand why you feel frustrated. We all want to feel appreciated for the jobs that we do, and that appreciation is usually in the form of salary.

I got to be friends with the custodian at my son's elementary school. I saw what his job entailed...custodian, teacher, mediator, handyman, etc. The kids adored him, and often would go to him for advice, cheering up, or just to talk. I had a lot of respect for what he did, and the pride he took in his work. I'm sure that you'll put that extra effort into your job too, which is why it feels so frustrating to be offered less compensation than the job really deserves.

I agree with Dawn that you should keep looking for other opportunities while working this job. It may be fine for the interim, but you need to enjoy what you do, and feel appreciated for the effort. If this job can't provide that, keep looking for another job that will. It's always easier to find a job when you already have one.

I hope things get better for you, hon. You've had a rough couple of months and are due for some good things to start happening. If I have any say in the matter, I'll make them start happening right away.

just needed to hear some kind and uplifting words from my friends. Thank you, you mean alot to me too! I just need to clean up after the pity party I threw myself and count my blessings. I know things will work out and I will keep looking for other things too. Just having a blue day and not wanting to be brave and needed a shoulder to cry on. Thanks for being here for me Dana, knew I could come here and you guys would understand.
