I used to work at Target too! I was in school full time and sometimes worked (unwillingly) up to 25 hours a week (in the SuperTarget Deli) I quit because my new manager was an evil man who fights with everyone, even though we were all doing an excellent job and sales were way up and everything! I quit and I just got a new job singing at weddings! I was making on average 200$ every two weeks @ $7.45 and hour and now (when there's work...) I'll make up to $150 per job (after training, and that's only for maybe like 6 months, then my rate will climb!
So A) when's your 3 month or yearly raise?! And B) Ask your ETL or TL (whoever makes the schedule) for more hours in the mean time. Sign up in the office for the extra hours needed sheet. Offer to work the registers after you finish your hours before you go home (a few girls did that...) I don't know why you're making 6.85... I was a freshman in college when I started with NO references and very little job experience and I started at 6.75, after three months I was making 7.00 and it DOES make a small but noticeable difference. After a year I was making 7.45.
Try moving on to a dept. store like Dillard's, Penney's, whatever they have locally for you because they pay like $9.00 and hour, at least down here in FL, so it's an improvement. Don't settle for less that you HAVE to and in the mean time/ in-between time, try to apply the degree that you worked so hard to earn by getting a job that you sought when you earned it! Good luck, if anything...try Florida?
