Never got a salary above 40k

Hi guys,

I have been working for 3 years, I am upset at the fact I never got a high salary job.

I was a contact tracer for New York City during COVID-19 where I was getting paid $22 an hour. It was very decent and after COVID ended so did my job.

I knew it wasn’t gonna last forever but since then I haven’t been able to grasp a salary close to that.

I have a bachelors degree in criminal justice and I’m currently an MPA student at Baruch college. I did my criminal justice from John Jay.

Currently I’m working with a staffing company at home making $15 an hour and I’m also doing part time fundraising work for the Biden campaign.

I’m making $2500 a month and it’s not enough, what am I doing wrong?
