I just received a pay increase, but considering how long before that I have had my (very low!) salary, it’s just not enough. And I don’t know if I can get any more at my current job. I’m also not very confident that I could find another job, since I don’t have any real education, just kind of learning by doing.
Well, I need to do something about the situation and soon! I want to be able to get an apartment and start feeling at least a bit financially secure. Something needs to happen by fall. As I see it I have three options:
1. Get a significant pay increase at my current job. From 2200 euro to 2500 euro (just received an increase from 2000 to 2200).
Does not feel highly likely.
2. Get a new job with a higher salary. The best and “easiest” way to a pay increase is to switch jobs. As I wrote above, don’t feel very confident about that…
3. Go back to university, get my degree (in literature! there are no jobs with those qualifications anyways!!) and try to get a job after that. This option obviously will take some planning and waiting…
