I'm the office manager at a very small school. I don't make as much as I should based on the degree that I have (master's in Education). I plan on going back to school for my doctorate in Education and (hopefully) getting a job doing research or curriculum development.
On most days.. Babysitter and I clean toilets on occasion.

Having an economy that is in the tank run by Obama seems to be keeping my paycheck a bit slimmer these days...
It's not Obamas fault that our economy is that weak nowadays. As well as the Bush recession didn't happen overnight (it took him 8 years of purposeful actions), the recovery might need 8 years of careful actions too.
I am a senior research fellow working at the X university. Mainly in genetics area.
I also co-own small business with someone. I put a lot more hours in research than I do in said business, yet I am making about 10 times as much from the business.
SAHM in deep south, USA. Today I collected 2 erasers, a half pound of empty (thank God) candy wrappers, and what I think might have a few days ago been a Pokemon card, from the dryer which is my only venue for tips. Other than that its hugs, kisses and the occasional "Thanks Mom!"
I USED to work Neuro Intensive Care as an RN. Think that's paying about 60 in my area right now.
