lots of things wrong here...
cinder has an excellent point...
a good time for you to earn a stronger salary is to be working, most companies want to hire working professionals. that also means people who have lower salaries... but the thing is they dontj need to know that your salary is low. dont ever be negative in an interview or at work.
also dont wait for that interview to contact you back, if you put all your efforts into 1 place you may never ever get a call back and yo uwill lose out in so much...
alwaays interview, i cant stress this point enough.. you can be in the most cushy job but you should alwaays be looking and networking, you never will be in that doorway if you are just waiting for tha t phone to ring.
make it your first effort to keep searching every avenue. maybe take a different job outside your skillsets, and just work... show to the employer you know how to not onlytake orders and solve the problem but you can do it everyday...
students who are just graduated dont have this luxury to work everyday.
so lets say you take this 30k job but you still want a higher paying salary at a storngerfirm but you made this commitment... well you have nothingto lose to keep looking and nothingto lose to change jobs.
also the new client will be more impressed you are working and make hire you over the other many graduates...
remember no job is permanent, and no salary is set in stone.
