When in doubt, volunteer
Data Entry Operator - (City withheld for privacy), California, United States
It is pretty self-explanatory really. I am currently trying to break into human services with focus on social work, after years of being an "office clerk" or "data entry clerk" through various companies. One of the opportunities that has just arisen is a volunteer position focusing on literacy, specifically geared toward children whose siblings/parents have been incarcerated. The least amount of time I will have to spend on this is one hour per week (though I will most likely spend more). I would personally recommend to anyone out there trying to better themselves in their own field, or attempting to break into another one, to get involved with their community. Volunteerism can also count toward college credits.

If you have children and spouse (or live-in boy/girl-friend), I would suggest involving them in volunteering as well. No matter how busy we think we are, we can make time for family - even if its just on the weekends.

I don't believe I am being paid fairly

I don't believe im being paid fairly, because I should at least be making 13.00 an hour, I have been an excellent employee with a boss that has a very bad memory and attitude.
