I had been working at a cafe located on-campus for about a year and a half, when there became rumors of our boss giving another student the opportunity to become a shift lead. It really wasn&#8217;t much of a second thought that most people believed I would be the one to take on that role, and at the time so did I. But then reality hit when my boss gave me the opportunity to promote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color\">At first I was thrilled and grateful he even thought of me. &#8220;It can help build my resume and the intrinsic compensation that my work can help other employees around me,&#8221; I (obviously) thought to myself. However, the real thing a starving college student wants to know is what kind of extrinsic compensation I would be getting. That, it turned out, was only about 20 cents more an hour than what I was already making. I had to weigh out all of my options with my school work load and if I could really afford to take on the hours and work needed to be a successful shift lead. I unfortunately had to pass up the opportunity, because school was my number one priority and 20 cents more an hour was not enough extrinsic compensation for me. I think compensation motivated that behavior, because if I would have gotten a more substantial raise that would have been worth it then I most likely would have taken it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/4191\/files\/2021\/01\/college-3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25\" width=\"559\" height=\"351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/4191\/files\/2021\/01\/college-3.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/4191\/files\/2021\/01\/college-3-300x188.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/4191\/files\/2021\/01\/college-3-768x482.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\" \/><figcaption>http:\/\/www.sonomastatestar.com\/opinion\/2014\/11\/3\/budgeting-goes-a-long-way-for-starving-college-students <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About a year ago, just before the world came to a halt, I was offered one of my first ever job promotions.
