Month 8: Profit

May 30, 2008 · Leave a Comment

If you work(ed) for non-profits, you’ve experienced the “knot in your stomach” reaction to threats of budget cuts.  If funding is approved, you breathe a sigh of relief, and slink back to your cubicle thanking God it wasn’t you… this time. Not very glamours, but it pays the bills, though this “security” comes at a price. Too many years of agency work, and we have trouble quantifying our worth. Worse, we begin to believe that people don’t pay for service. Hell, due to our meager salaries, we don’t pay for service.

Which is why Chapter 8 is a real humdinger, and raising all sorts of issues I’d rather not think about. For example, how do you make the psychological leap from earning $25-$36 per hour to $125-$160 per hour?
