I am not sure how comfortable you are with computer. Otherwise you may look out for an option to work online. Although it wont pay you like full time job but its good to make some extra cash. I am a part time worker doing work online at home, so I would like to share a link where you can make $600 in a month working at home. The work need to be done is posting a discussion and answering a discussion. the link is:\n\nhttp://tinyurl.com/yhzzph\n\nif you work smartly, you can even make $1000 or more.. it all depends on your usage pattern. I worked for 2 hour daily last month and i got paid $238 for the last month. Its not bad after all, i am happy and making more. After sign up, do mail me to know the tips on how to increase your earning.\n\nPlease let me know, if you have any queries. I will try my best to give you right answer\n\n(PS: When u are planning for a home based online work, be very careful because most of them are scam and ask you to pay initial money. never pay money to any such site.)

I asked a couple friends, one that owns a large IT service center and another that has a B.S. in Computer Science.  They both agreed that it would be best to start in your career now with what you have. Then go back to school and get some more knowledge.  They both agree that knowledge is 49% of what gets you paid and experience is 51%\n\nBut the choice is yours, it's your future, don't let anyone decide for you

I do not think that you are guaranteed a raise as far as the law goes. It has only been 6 months since you say he dropped your hours but still had the same pay so I would not push just yet. If you have good benefits and enjoy working for these people that means a lot also - very hard to find a job that you wake up everyday and enjoy going to work.

Call and tell him/her that you calculated your needs and you need to adjust your minimum salary requirements if you said that to the agency (e.g. recruiter).\n\nIf you said that to the company directly, you may be able to get the recruiter to advocate for you and renegotiate a better starting salary.\n\nIf you get an offer of the lower amount, you may have to accept it or pass on the offer if they won't budge.\n\nGood luck.

Well, it really depends on your sitution. The only way I can see it help with your Career is that your job requries it, and will pay more if you have it.

I would suggest posting on craiglist (and explain why you're offering below market salary) or http://www.dice.com is where tech. jobs are usually listed.

You need to answer this one for yourself.\nAsk yourself: Will more money make me happier than I am now - happy enough to change jobs?  Can I stand to do the other job for the rest of my career?  Can I survive and be content with the money from my current job?

Here's the deal. I have cousins who work in Mexico and they have secure jobs like you. They are not eager to switch anytime soon due to the instability of the job market. You are making a good living now.\n\nAlso I would like to point out that the buyer-seller market is a very fickle thing with you potentially being able to make more in the end. But their are risks involved. Salaries over here in the US are not going up at the moment and the cost of living is increasing. \n\nTaking the job means that they pay you what you are already making. In future years it is up to them to decide whether or not they want to give you a raise? You might or might not make more.\n\nMy advice from a business standpoint is too not take the offer up.

It really depends on what area you live in - and whether it's rural or urban. And whether you work directly for the employer, are self-employed, or contracted. \n\nI've never heard of a "virtual" admin support, so I couldn't really say on that. But I've seen bookkeepers make between $8-13/hr direct hire, and $20-25/hr self-employed. Computer tech technicians tend to get good money, unless you're in a remote area - usually in the $15-20/hr+ range direct hire. Computer tech & computer clean-up & organization would be great contractual or self-employment work if you have a solid foundation in computers. \n\nIf you work direct hire, you will be making less then if you were self-employed. But as a self-employed person, you are responsible for your own Federal & State taxes, unemployment tax, workman's comp, and other bennies. So the $20/hr listed above, actually is much less take home.

You could try getting another job.  Ask how you could help your company more.  Maybe they are downgrading you because you are not performing up to their expectations.  Why do you think god is mad at you?  You need to deal with that.  You can get ahead based on your own efforts and abilities.  If your salary didn't change, maybe it's no big deal.  Look for opportunities and work for them.  Don't wait for your company to take care of you.  They won't.

Sure, if your skills can compensate for the increase.\n\nIt can be addressed such as "well, that's a wonderful offer, but I was expecting something in the range of XXX."\n\nOr perhaps, you could use another "competitor" of the company, such as "well, that's a wonderful offer, but XYZ is offering me XXX."\n\nIt is tricky, but it is ok to address this issue.

Most people hate to ask for a raise because they think they will be considered a pest and looked upon unfavorably.  Well usually, if you don't ask, you won't get the raise and you don't get what's fair, you get what you negotiated.  My suggestions for what it's worth:\n1) Don't compare any other worker's deal with yours because that's like saying you deserve a raise because they got one.\n2) Ask for a raise on the basis of how you have increased your value to the company.  Give examples of your performance and progress.\n3) Be specific and reasonable in what you are asking for.  Plan on them making a counteroffer to your request.\n\nGood luck.

Somewhere near 36% more.  Hey, more is more.  Even 1% more will pay off in the long run because in most degree level jobs you get raises based on what you currently make so your even getting bigger raises than those high schoolers.
