Ugh, I hear you on the dissatisfied coworker who thinks her degree trumps everything else, including experience. I have seen it before, and I do not get it - did you actually learn anything with all the education of yours? It's not a ticket to entitlement, it's a leg up on giving you the skills to develop experience and value, not something that makes you immediately valuable

Right?? The best thing I learned from my graduate classes was how to speak in front of a group. I'm still pretty bad at it, but at least I don't sweat through my shirt in the first minute and blow through all my points in the next anymore. I didn't learn a single practical thing about how to keep up with a basic accounting job, much less the financial clusterfuck I found myself in at my current job.

When I got my MBA I earned jack squat. I called myself a bargain bin staff accountant, because that's what I was. I was over-educated and under-experienced, and that's what I got paid for. I've done pretty much the exact same job for the last six years, but because my experience and skill set's increased, my pay's more than doubled. If you know what you're doing, and can prove it, employers, or mine at least, will shell out what you deserve. But you have to prove it. And it takes time!
