Sounds like my case but I was on the way out where I was and needed something with decent medical at least for the short term. Being the only one in my remote facility with actual technical knowledge, willing to take responsibility, and actually caring about doing a good job is supposed to be finally yielding some fruit in a couple of months. Things should finally turn around moneywise.

Well, I have a job - for which I’m thankful. There are promotion opportunities, but, even my boss’s boss doesn’t make as much money as I did 5 years ago.

Good luck in your job. My son worked at the family hardware store since he was 8. When we closed, he found a job right away at Tractor Supply. He hasn’t finished his degree, but they took him on because of his extensive background. He was promoted to asst. mgr. after only a year on the job. Work ethic and hard work still applies.
