OK can we talk about me?

I'm getting a RIDICULOUSLY low salary at my current job. I'm applying at several new places, and with the combined factors of my education, experience, clearance, (and the fact that I shouldn't have settled for such a low salary to start with, but whatever, i wanted a foot in the door) I'm putting my LOW salary range at a LOT more than I'm earning now. That range is still pretty typical (if not on the low side!) for my position in my field.

My point being -- for obvious reasons, I don't want to list my ridiculously low current salary. I don't want them to think I'm worth that, for starters. And I certainly don't want them to think they can offer me that -- that's the whole point of switching jobs.

So what do I do? Not list it? Even when it's requested?
