'Help Me Ask For A RAISE!' Hourly Jobs  

mostly_courtney from united states -

I am a recent college graduate with a Bachelor's degree in English (hooray!!). I am currently working at a Summer Camp, getting paid $9.50/hr. I have been working at this Camp for seven consecutive summers now, and it has taken me seven years to work up to this wage. But, I have recently learned that two younger girls just hired this year are also being paid $9.50/hr! I feel I deserve more money simply because of my seniority, not to mention my recent obtaining of a Bachelor's.

Basically, how do I ask for a raise, and how much should I ask for? Everyone I ask gives me a different answer, so I decided to ask cyberspace. Please help, I used to love my job, and now I am miserable because I feel I am being taken advantage of. I don't want to risk losing this job, because I don't have another one lined up yet, but I also know that you can't steal second base while keeping your foot on first. Any suggestions from people formerly in my position would be amazing. Also employers that want to lend me some insiders information on techniques that have worked on them in the past!
