I am currently in school and going to complete my degree in 2 years. I am working a part time job while in my studies. I just got a raise. This is amazing and sad at the same time. The part time job I am at requires little skill when I applied but gave me an overall 6% and 11% respectively over two years. The work that I am going for begins lower and I have heard raises rarely go over 5% annually. I am seriously considering studying something else after three years because it is paying better and less physically and mentally demanding.
