This is very true of many who are in jobs similar to mine, but most any other institution I could go to would pay more for less work. So, why don't I move on? I love my boss, love my coworkers (most of them), I have very flexible scheduling, I'm very close to home, and I feel I have invested so much of myself in this job and this place I have a certain degree of loyalty. We went through a radical change a couple years ago, and I can't go into to details but it almost killed all of us from stress (these are changes we ourselves implemented because it was the right thing to do) so I feel very woven into the fabric of my job.
So, you all have a point: I COULD move on and make more $$ if I chose to, but the other factors are very important to me, for now anyway. How many people can say they love their jobs?
But, I wish I were paid what I'm worth, so that's hard too.
