I’m torn
So I’ve been working at an office since May when I graduated highschool. For background I went to vocational school where I studied dental and got my X-Ray license. So I got a job straight out of high school making 14 dollars an hour. At the beginning I didn’t think much about the money. Now though it’s become a reoccurring issue. I get paid so little while I am licensed and I feel like I’m just so overworked. The dentist talks to me like I’m a piece of crap under her shoe the HR lady constantly belittles me telling me I need to change my whole personality for the job (I’m not much of a smiler) while I do smile around the kids. I feel like I’m not doing good at all
Me and the hygienist are the only ones taking X-rays, and sometimes I have to retake theirs while making tx plans or cleaning. I had a talk with my HR lady and she basically told me a raise is no where in my future because I’m not qualified enough to get one. My friend just started a job today doing the same thing making 18 an hour. I feel so discouraged and I feel like I’m failing. I keep looking for a new job somewhere that will pay me more but when I submit my resume nothing ever comes from it. I feel like I’ll be trapped for a while until I move in with my boyfriend who lives in a different state.
