Yes, it's called Stay At Home Mom for me... LOL

I'm pretty lucky, my job is pretty easy and I'm paid well, however, I do know a lot of people in my industry who have less experience but work for a different company who make more than me. Which sucks.

Sometimes.... I work for my moms ministry so most of the time it's pretty laid back. When we have events it gets pretty crazy as I'm graphic designer, diy decor maker, event planner, and coordinator and my mom isn't exactly one to be all gung-ho about deadlines so most things get stacked up pretty quick. lol

I figure that since it's like that only 2-3 months out of the year I can deal with the small salary. =)

@belleoftheballe: lol! Ditto.

Well, at any other company with DH's job title, he would make double what he does...however, a lot of those company's have gone bankrupt recently so he is choosing job security over making more money. And his seniority doesn't transfer so, he would start from the bottom. He works really hard though and in dangerous situations so I do think he is over worked and under paid.

not overworked per se, but definitely underpaid for my experience (a price I paid when I took the job but I wanted a job closer to home). Not to mention the job is not quite what I was led on to believe it would be when I accepted.

Overworked? Sort of, I tend to do my supervisors' job half the time, so my stress level is higher than it should be. Underpaid? Uh heck yes. I get paid peanuts, and it really frustrates me. I've decided that if I don't get promoted before I go on maternity leave, when I come back, I'm looking for a higher-paying job. I just can't justify working on a Master's degree to make pay roughly equal to a fast food supervisor.

No question about it...I'm always really busy (although I don't mind being overworked) but my big issue is how badly I'm underpaid. My boss (the director) got laid off, they gave me almost all of her duties but I still make 80k less than she did. Sometimes I think there is definitely a case of age discrimination going on. In this economy though, I feel I just need to be happy I have a job.

I'm definitely not overworked, and I am paid well. I'm lucky, even though it's really boring a lot of the time.

I was until I had my son. My father in law lets me take him to work, so now I'm paid to do a little work, but mostly just watch my son. Before that, though, I did the work of 4 people and hadn't gotten a raise in over 5 years. I made less than the receptionist at one point. But now that I hardly work at work, and I come in late, I'm definitely not underpaid.
