i went in for a junior designer position after college 9. sat down through the entire interview process. near the end they asked me what i had in mind as far as money... i told them 45K... their jaws dropped and told me they could only offer $10/hour. i said thank you and walked out 15 seconds later.
yeah, i just spent a crapload on college so that i could slave my ass off for 10 bucks an hour. ffs.

- ru serious? you could make $10/hr working at Home Depot.fooler2
- Is 45K a realistic graduate salary in the US? I'm assuming that's where you are.Ranger
- All depends on your city and skill. i wasn't gonna sell myself short. i ended up getting more than 45K at another firm.

- how sad is it that you think 45K is a lot of money. this is the problem with designers.. you undervalue you own selves.

- ...and then you wonder why employers undervalue you.
