Is that really all I'm worth?

This post is a little rant/a little sorrow/a little hope all in one. I got my official offer from Anthropologie today and all I will say it was not at a salary I could live on...in Boulder. In Kansas City I would say a decent salary for college kids with part-time jobs would be about $8. In Boulder, because of the higher cost of living, it is considered to be $10. Anthropologie's offer was between these two numbers.

I kindly told the super sweet manager that I would have to think about it. I feel so bad I couldn't immediately jump at the offer but I would have to get a second (and if you count The Amazing Garage Sale, third) job just to live for a year before law school! Yikes!

However, I am a strong believer in Karma. Ten minutes after I hung up with Anthropologie I got a call from a downtown financial firm where I had applied to be the Office Manager. After the phone interview I got an offer for an in person interview next Wednesday. It would be a full-time (poor Henry!) well paying job but I'm sure there are a lot of very qualified applicants. We shall see!

Not sure exactly what I am going to do- a week ago I thought I had a job in the bag...
