Design Fresh Flowers
How much SHOULD I be earning an hour?
I work as a Professional Floral Designer. I have a degree in Horticulture and 10+ years work experience. My work experience includes but is not limited to:(this is what I do every day) Designing/arranging fresh cut and silk flowers per customer order; answering phones; waiting on customers; plant care (watering etc); processing fresh cuts when they first come in, cleaning and basic shop up-keep; occasional delivery, some basic computer work; ordering some product from wholesalers (not too often though..) and managing the shop when the boss isn’t here…which seems like most of the time……I am her only employee and get $8.10/ hour…am I getting screwed or what? If she gives me a raise, she cuts back the number of hours I work.
Oh, I live in Central NY State….not near the city
My degree has everything to do with my job..I specialized in floral design..that was my main focus area in college…everything else was just a bonus….(like the greenhouse mngmnt courses…)
Sounds like you need to find someone else to work for.
