lagniappe: In LA, a trifle given to tradesmen; a gratuity.
Sorry, I am evidently missing your point. But, you are no doubt correct about my husband; his work is very skilled, whereas I am truly just a bean-counter.
If you are overqualified for your current job, have you considered another position? Do you both / either / neither have CPAs?
Your situation is unfortunate, but is the difference in education the only thing that differentiates your qualifications vs. your husband (other than your gender)?
My point was; I asked for nothing. Your implication was that I might be interested in fries. The tone of your first message was that somehow you should have an equal pay to your husband, especially since you had a BA.
If "bean-counter" = CPA, brush up your resume and go after that job which will satisfy your monetary goals.
