I'm glad it's working for you because it is THE job for you. :-)
I saw a job opening at my local library that required a 4-year degree and demanded a truck load of skills and responsibilities, including dealing with the press, making speeches, organizing programs for the community, running the information desk, being bilingual, writing for the newspaper, plus all the other regular library duties. It paid $10-something an hour. While that wage isn't anywhere near minimum wage ($5.15), if a person has student loans from their degree, has a family, doesn't have another wage earner in the house, or any other kind of financial burden, it's just not going to make it. If you wanted to make $10-something an hour, there are a lot of other jobs you could take that are easier and don't require a degree. It seems unfair that this particular job demands so much, requires so much, yet pays off so little.
