Not so telerant
I worked for two company already. I am jobless now. I always feel not happy when my boss assign many tasks for me to do; they just talk about work, but never talk about salary.
My friends tell me that just do what the boss assign. It is not the time to think about salary yet.
I can not stand with it!
I really need advices!

Your friend is right. The harder you work the more leverage you will have in your salary. Also doing some research with your company's competitors can help. If there's another company offering you better pay then bring that to your boss' attention. He might make you a better offer than they do. And if he doesn't then you still have the offer from the other company to take up.

I agree with you. I don't like it either. That's why I looked for something I could do on my own. I design jewelry, I have a interior decorator's license, I find antiques and take them to auction, I'm a raw and living foodest, so, I make food for people, I'm writing a cookbook, I make custom skin care products (creams, lotions, body scrubs...) for people and I life coach to name a few. I do what it takes not to work for someone. What you have to do is concentrate on what it is that you do enjoy doing. I know, you've heard this before...but really reflect within yourself. Start noticing, as you do things, how you feel about what you are doing. If it is something you really like doing for fun....look at it from as many angles you can come up with as to how you could make money doing this. There are a lot of millionaires out there that started business doing really obscure things with something we all love doing. Look for an angle. Or, you could simply start a business doing something very familiar to everyone that could work too such as starting an online store. You need very little capital and you could sell things that are special in your area of the world. But, if you don't have the money to do it yourself right now, you will have to just bide your time. That means work for someone else and do the tasks they want of you. You will have to be patient and save every penny you can to be applied towards your venture. Talk to friends; let them know what your goals are. You never know...someone may surprise you and help you sometime down the line. It may not happen right away because they may need to see how serious you are about starting your own thing. Keep in mind that these people you are working for didn't want to work for anyone either. That's why they started their business. Now, they need people to do certain things in a certain way in order for their business to operate efficiently. They can't do everything themselves, so, they hire people to do the less interesting tasks. These are the things they don't like to do either, but they have to get done. One way to help you get through working for other people is to keep your goal of your own business in mind in all the tasks assigned to you. Observe what the different tasks are and how it contributes to the growth of the business. This will actually be a great learning experience for you because people who've been in business for a long time have made all of the mistakes...they do things the way they do for a reason. This can help you not make as many mistakes in your business when you start it.
Good luck in your quest!
Namaste,

hello! I'm PurplePudgyPenguin. And I'm... -looks at card- going to attempt to assist you in your time of desperate need? -rips up card- Who writes that junk? -pause as cricket chirps- Oh yeah, I do. Anyways! Before I totally freak you out here, let's get down to buisness. It seems to me like your boss is a very strict person. He wants to see things done right the first time, and wants to keep his workers going the way he wants things to be done. I'm not saying that's bad, sometimes, a buisness needs a strict boss to survive. Well, I think it's best if you just stay patient with your boss. Hint that you want a higher salary but dont say it straight out until you're positive that he's in either a good mood for speaking about it, or that your confident enough to approach him with the subject in a bold manner. Just stay positive and dont let the constant work get you down. Just think, it'll help you out in the long run.
I hope my advice has helped you in some way. If not, there are many other advice-givers that would be more than happy to give you other opinions. I'm sorry if I haven't given you the answer you were looking for. Have a good day! Take care!
Luvs,

You have to do the work before you can get a raise. A friend once pointed out that people often expect raises too much now. Instead of working hard to get a raise, they think that they deserve the raise no matter what.
See, you have to be happy with the work you get, or pretend to be happy with it and do the best job you can in order to get a raise.
