Okay so. I finally found a job.

sidony, I can relate to your tale of not asking for a higher salary. Have I got the book for you! I am going to a career counselor right now, who is helping me decide if I need additional training to make more money or can just make more money doing something else but with my pre-existing training. (I need to make more money since I am getting divorced.) She gave me this book last time called, "Why Women Earn Less: How to Make What You're Really Worth." It is just so me. It gets into the psychology of why many women earn less than men (it's not all the glass ceiling). I think you might find some insights there that ring true for you. I am really learning a lot. It has practical stuff too. I highly recommend it. The author is Mikelann Valterra.

Even if you didn't get the starting salary you might have, just put it on your agenda to get a hefty raise after you have proved yourself for a year. Go gangbusters and show them what you're worth, then ask for a lot after a year. You're worth it!

I'm not sure this is a strictly therapy-related post (in spite of that last paragraph), but I wanted you guys to know where I'm at.
