Anyway, the problem is I really can't find anything that similar, and the most similar one says the low end is $38,000... That seems a bit high... After all, I do only have a Bachelor of Arts and it states in the job description that this is an entry-level position. I ended up writing a range from $32,000-$37,000. The problem is that I've applied for SO many jobs that I think are SO perfect for me (and I for them), and have ended up not getting them... I'm getting VERY discouraged!

Please...please....PLEASE....don't discount yourself because "you only have a Bachelor's!!" I hear this WAY too often! You earned that degree and are worth everything that goes with it...if the competitive market rate is $38,000, then go for it!!!! I know BA candidates that are making much more than that (although it's not in your geographic location), so it goes to show that BA degrees are worth something...
Like I said, you are worth only as much as you think you are!!!
I knew one girl who just graduated from college...she was ready to quit her job when she approached her boss and said that the only way she'd stay is if he doubled her salary....and he did it!!!
