Re: What's the point of volunteering?

If you're equating volunteering with slave labor, volunteering is not the route for you. I don't know the specifics of your job, but if what you're doing is equivalent to a paid job...you're getting screwed. But if not? You're just a volunteer doing bit duties to pick up the slack, and that happens a lot. Get the experience on your resume and find somewhere else.

Since you brought it up, though, another thing you might want to consider is that the practice you're at can't afford to pay someone a living wage. Did the other two volunteers have an hours increase? It's a little telling that it's a second job for both, and the people you work with might just be avoiding hiring you because they know they can't pay you that much.

My guess is that this is what's going on, because I've been in the same situation before. I volunteered for a place who loved me and the work I did and was even awesome enough to be able to pay me for my work for a few months when I was in a really tight spot, but who couldn't hire me permanently because they just didn't have the funds to be able to pay me a living wage. The other people who worked there worked part-time as a second job, so the pay rate wasn't as important to them.
