I work full-time (a minimum 55 hours a wk) as the overnight manager of a domestic violence shelter. It's difficult, emotional work for next to no pay, but then again, no one goes into nonprofit work expecting to make the big bucks. My salary is dependent on grant money, so if we don't qualify or miss deadlines, then I'm just outta luck. (Although if we get the current grant we're hoping for, my salary will go up by $6000.) I'm also taking my placement tests Friday to go back to school. Hopefully once I finish my degree I can find an actual good paying job with insurance in this field. Insurance is a big motivation for me.
