u/JerseMT

So the cost of living in New Jersey has sky rocketed, but my salary has not. I have my lease renewal coming up and am dreading it. Most of my Rutgers MLS class is working a full time job and a per-diem job to get by. But I'm feeling super burned out. I feel like I did everything right but am getting priced out of my home state.

I have nursing friends who are graduating and will be starting at a higher rate than me, despite my 5 years experience. It's so disheartening to feel left behind.
