Re: i took a pay cut

Here where I live, one group owns the majority of clinics, so starting pay is lower than BLS average for the area (which doesn't make sense). I've been told that once you get hired and prove your ability, increases and chances of promotion come frequently.

I know what you're talking about, though. The career services dept insisted we accept no less than $12.00 per hour because "you have an associate's degree!". But if the pay isn't there, what can you do?

I am volunteering as much as I can to make contacts for a better opportunity.
