I, 17M, have worked for four years teaching swim lessons and lifeguarding year round. I accepted a position as a lifeguard and teacher for my second summer at a summer camp. I make about $2,000 for eight weeks, one day off and 6-11 most days. The reason they say the wages are so low is to compensate for room and board, however, we all sleep in tent structures. I am currently being considered for an assistant director position, but they have not mentioned pay. What should I expect in terms of salary increase? They shut down talks of salary increase very quickly, however, I know they are massively underpaying me and I would like a reasonably small increase. My biggest issue is that I am not well-spoken or informed enough to argue for myself or say things in the most clear way. Any advice would be appreciated.
