I worked at a local bank for about 8 months. In a way I see this as a blessing in disguise, since I was treated as a 3rd wheel in the branch, and my coworkers got all the credit, yet they're lazy. I'm not sure if I want to stick to banking either, since the pay is very low, and I was barely making it on my salary. I was also very overqualified for the job, education wise. I have a college degree and I was working alongside high school students. I want a job where a college degree is an asset, and perhaps pays a little more. My initial plans for this job were to stick it out until I got an MBA on their dime, then move on from there.
The advantage of this from a saving standpoint is now that i can live on a very low salary, when it goes up, I can devote the difference to various savings and investments of mine.
I'm updating my resume to post on Monster, Career Builder, and the likes. I moved to a new state, and I'm not sure if I want to stick around here or not. I love living in this area, but I really don't have any connections (or friends/family here). I'm going back home for about a week next week to catch up with everyone, and see if I want to move back to NY (or to another area for that matter with a better job market).
