You can try getting a weekend retail job or some other side hustle going. Be very careful not to work for a competitor because Texas is an "at-will" state and your current employer will find it to be a problem.
If you believe you are being underpaid, you can always start a job search. The job market is still pretty tight and workers have the upper hand.
Entry-level positions here in CA are offering $45-65k/year for Science positions. From what I can tell, you should pump up the resume and then look for a better-paying position. How long have you been in this position? A good year would help you a lot toward getting a better job. If you did any work for a professor related to your field, that should go in your resume for work experience. Don't go for a second job unless you want to have no free time to yourself or get burnout. You sound to be being exploited because that salary is a slap in the face. In 1999 I started my first lab job making $35k/yr. plus all the standard benefits. I was just graduated from the university, like you.
Get the year of clinical research associate XP and you will go crazy at how many doors will open up for you in clinical research! You have a great career path forward, and a bright future. Take care Science bro! 🤗
Have you tried the freelance job market? there you must find what you are looking for for sure I am sure, try locating your profession in upwork or people per hour. You will surely find something, good luck.
There are many great research jobs in Austin that pay well for weekends. These positions can be a great way to gain experience in the field, or to continue your education if you are already working in a research or lab setting.
Hey there! Have you checked LinkedIn? So many new opportunities coming out every single day, it's important to stay on top of those so no one else can apply before you. The job I currently have I found there and it's been a great experience!
I don't know about the job market in Texas, but I think the best option would be to search online job boards or Indeed.com for positions that match your qualifications.
