I am about to graduate with a masters in Leadership and Policy Studies. I have been wanting to branch out my vocational prospects as my current line of work really has been worn out (mainly due to bad management, job is nice itself sometimes). I've been working in Housing and Residence Life for 4 years. With my degree, I can work virtually anywhere on a college campus (as staff, not faculty). However, I thought I could put in a application for a Team Lead (for human staff, not animals) at a local zoo. I have the necessary supervisory experience and more than enough educational qualifications (they listed bachelors requested). I got an email yesterday that said they went in another direction, that's fine….Then they felt the need to add on 'if you are still looking for a job we have a part-time (20-30hrs week) non-lead position that is $12.10 an hour'….That is less than I make now and is only part time too. Am I right to feel disrespected? I feel like my degree and experience is worth more than $12.10 for 20-30 hours a week. I do not plan to apply for various reasons and perhaps its is just a mass email they sent out as they are looking for workers, but I just felt that was disrespectful. I would've been happier if they just said they went in a different direction.
