I own my own horse training business and charge $30/hour. The fact that I do not have an indoor facility, however, means business is almost nonexistant due to harsh Wisconsin winters. This Winter, I took on part-time work with the same veterinarian I worked for while in H.S. I am a hard worker, good at what I do, and helped her when she was short on help and in a jam. I started out one day per week, and now am up to five days because she was so short-staffed. I enjoy what I do, but I feel she would be in a bad spot if I quit.
She started me at $10, and I have been there about 9 months now. She really made it sound like she was "doing me a favor", as she doesn't start any of her help out at this wage.
I personally think I'm way over-qualified (with an animal science degree) to be working for this wage. I enjoy the work and would like to stay there, however.
Whats a reasonable duration of employment when I should ask for a raise, and what's a reasonable amount to ask for?
