Re: job market



I believe in order to formulate what a salary for an archivist should
minimally start out as (i.e. 30,000), one should consider what the
applicant's experience is, what the job entails, what level the position is
at (Chief Archivist vs. Assistant Archivist), and location (living expenses
in let's say New York City would not be the same as in a small town
somewhere else in America).

We all make sacrifices for one reason or another as to why we stay at a job
that is over worked and under paid.  This could be said for any profession
where we may experience a lack of compensation for our jobs well done.
