All jobs in Louisiana are grossly underpaid, but you have a masters degree! You’re selling yourself short. If you plan on staying in LA maybe you should find some remote work.

That is ridiculous. I’m in Iowa, as a pharmacy tech making close to $20. Obviously way less schooling. How do you even afford your college loan pmts. I’m sure there is a place for you that will pay you at least closer to what your worth.

I would definitely say you are underpaid! Especially with your degrees! I work in Minnesota just outside of Minneapolis as a patient care rep and I make $19 an hour. Of course cost of living up here is bonkers high but it’s still an amazing feeling to make that much as I’ve never made that much before in any of the states we’ve lived in (7 of them).

UNDERPAID! Your starting pay should by min $25/hr. If you have good understanding of your work potentially $35/hr. With a yr or 2 under your belt with good knowledge expect more.
