Re: Do you enjoy your job?
What do you do? PT Service Coordinator for people with developmental disabilities (State of NY job) - 20 to 25 hours per week, PT real estate agent - anywhere from 0 to 10 hours per week
Where did you graduate? Le Moyne College, Syracuse NY
GPA? 3.9
What degree did you earn? Sociology with a concentration in Human Services
starting salary and current salary? I earned $15,500 at my first job in a shelter, then about $20k in my next job (both non-profits). Now I work for the state and would be making $35k+ if I worked full-time. I pull in anywhere from $5-10k a year doing real estate.
And the most inportant, Do you enjoy your job? I call my real estate my "fun" job and my other job is for the benefits (right now DH is a student so we need the health insurance, plus the other benefits are great too). I wouldn't say I love my job, but I don't hate it either. It could be a lot worse (and it was when I worked in a shelter in a very bad, bad part of the city). I work only during the week, no holidays, a good amount of time off, and I really like the people I work with, so those factors go a long way. Real estate is a lot more fun, but there are absolutely no benefits, no base salary, etc. so it is a very hard way to raise a family.
