I'm not saying that, just that I'd be surprised if people stopped going to strip clubs at a certain age.

Beats me though, I'm nearly 40 and have never been to a strip club so maybe I missed the titty window

I hope you are getting loving paid, yo. Non-profit work is usually a poo poo-show of drama that pays like garbage because they expect you to be "committed to the work." Government work usually pays better, has better benefits, and is frequently as (if not more) altruistic.

I am getting paid, but not terribly well. I have an MA in history so the options aren’t great. I’m definitely acutely aware that they’re a sector characterized by a kind of passion based exploitation, but luckily this new role is on the larger size as it’s an organization with 200+ employees and a budget in the 100m range.

would definitely prefer working for the state. my previous role was as an admissions officer for an MA program and got laid off during the most recent round of brutal austerity related cuts. I had been there for four years, it was my alma mater, perfect reviews with recommendations for a promotion every year, etc.

this job is a slight raise of around $5k, so I’m making $50k now, which is just enough to make up for the difference per month in insurance costs and give me maybe an extra hundred bucks a month after everything is accounted for. it’s also remote and so far has been really low pressure, my manager told me I did a superlative job my first week and I spent half of it playing BG3 between doing my actual assigned tasks. I have a little less vacation time but they have better retirement stuff and sick time is separate from vacation so if you combine them it’s pretty much a wash. it’s also remote like my last role which is great when you’re used to it.

anyway I think I basically got insanely lucky with this in that I got the first job I interviewed for and am thus receiving severance and am still insured, it is technically an improvement, and they’re growing instead of collapsing. but you’re 100% right in general and I intend to use this experience to move into for profit permutations of the same sector where the real money is.

having a humanities background and history in higher ed admin definitely limits the commodifiable skills one has, which really depresses me thinking about my dad who has an MA in religious studies and built a lucrative lower-bounds six figure career in university administration but when I tried to do the exact same thing in the same way at the same institution I got laid off

Ooooofffff, academia to nonprofit work? You just well and truly hate money, huh?

Feel free to tell me to gently caress off if you're not looking for advice or already know what you want to do, but there's a career path thread in BFC that generally knows what they're talking about.

With a masters, you could totally be making way more than that with just a little more credentialing; get a project management or HR certification, jump on that sweet middle-management money train. If you're smarter than a bowl of yeast and capable of the barest minimum of human decency, you'll be in the top 2% of HR professionals.

Alternatively, take the default goon pathway, and learn to touch computer. Get yourself an ITIL cert and make CISO in no time.

It really does loving suck, but academia used to pay pretty decently, and you'd get a bunch of time off in the summer if you wanted to spend it with your kids, but now it's just a loving suckers' game. Capitalism ruins everything.

Most of the HR people I've worked with making good money had a masters, but that is very much anecdotal. I am not an expert, highly recommend the career path thread.

If you're trying to pivot from admissions officer, it's the first thing that jumps into my head that your skillset would be applicable to.

And getting paid six figures working on HR sure as poo poo sounds a lot better to me than making $50k as an office jockey. That extra money buys off a lot of misery.

Do the job that is in front of you
International student offices at universities pay pretty well and you can feel good about ensuring people get the assistance they need. I started in a front desk position but was trained in a specific database and regulations later and made a decent living. Others were trained on the job to be officers F1/J1/H1B visa programs (I'm in the US).

I've often wondered if HR people have any wiggle room to advocate for workers or if they are just paid to be the smiling face on the boot. Assuming it's a mixed bag, but I've mostly seen the latter.
