Employers, it is time you treat us fairly and pay us 6 figures! You want a Lamborghini but only willing to pay for a Ford Escort. I am an Executive Administrator with 25+ years experience. (Think Donna on “Suits”.) I take pride in my work, which has allowed me to advance, if only in job title. All of the job openings I see have 28 bullet points of specific required work experience, along with a laundry list of “working knowledge” of an array of software programs, but are paying $50k or less?!

I'm thankful that I actually do make six figures, but before then I worked at a non-profit for under 50k and I did way more there than I do now. People don't always appreciate us, and the better we are at our jobs the worst it seems to be workwise because they know we can handle what we are given and will still provide amazing results. Meanwhile, I see some bad employees just coasting by and not getting the same kind of work that I am, and it makes me feel like they've got the system figured out. But I'll never be that kind of person.

The EA/Admin profession used to be a gateway for many people to get their foot in the door and grow into different career paths. For most organizations this is no longer the case. Do you see EA’s/Admins growing into different roles within your orgs? If so, what paths are taken? What steps are taken to get there? What I’d like to learn is whether our profession still has the capability to be a doorway or if others are seeing the same things I am; limited opportunities for development.
