The salary decrease this year has negatively impacted my personal debt. Several years ago, I returned to this country after working overseas for a few years. My return and subsequent job search occurred just as the 9-11 tragedy was happening. I was out of work for seven months, and during that time I paid for things on credit. With the pay decrease, I am sometimes reduced to paying only the minimums on my credit cards, increasing the length of time I have this personal debt crisis. I came to public education because I thought it would be a stable place to work, where I'd get an opportunity to share my knowledge, and earn a "reasonable" living. Apparently I was wrong.
