Sooo I just graduated college yesterday with a degree some would say is “useless” (a BFA in Creative Writing and a minor in Spanish). But I know I can go into any communications department and might be hired (sales, marketing, technical and copywriting, editing, etc). Source: my professors.
Anyway, I’m looking at jobs starting around $19/hr as my state’s min is $12.75/hr (Maine). My boomer father keeps insisting there is no way I’ll get a job at that salary (about 40K), but I’ve already had call-backs and some want interviews. Am I crazy for looking at this salary level?
