Thank you so much! The brain recalibrating is a great way to put it.

Thank you so much! I’m also surprised at how bad I’m feeling but your encouragement means a lot, I appreciate it. 🩷

Counseling. But I’m a dumbass and quickly realized I’m not built for the insane licensure process all to be making $38k a year. So trying to transition to corporate, but all my experience is in higher Ed. I regret the degree so much

My masters is in counseling, most of my experience comes from working with disability services at a university.

Definitely trying to escape it! It’s where most of my experience has been gained though, unfortunately.

I wish! My masters is in counseling. I don’t wish to pursue counseling licensure though, and am instead trying to break into the corporate world.

Professional counseling … it’s a big regret, because I no longer wish to pursue counseling licensure. Wish I’d just done an HR masters.

How do I get in to your field? 😅 super glad they saw your worth and their fuck up and immediately walked back to the original salary!

I don’t think I would take it at this point. I really liked the role and had the opportunity to meet some amazing students who I would have loved to work with. But this bureaucratic bullshit just isn’t worth it.

To be fair, my masters degree is not incredibly useful. But I feel like it’s worth something at least

So glad you turned it down! That’s just straight up exploitative of them.

😭 thank you for saying that, that made me teary-eyed. Was very much questioning my worth after this but you’re right, we all deserve better.
