Someone asked me the other day what my salary was. Years ago we were taught never to reveal our salary. I was so excited about getting a steady salary that I wrote the amount in my calendar on each payday. I think it is to the employer's benefit that we don't discuss salary. I was taken aback. That is my own business.

I was a junior secretary at a large bank and my salary was $137 every two weeks. I don't remember my first interview, although I do remember my first job and my first paycheque.
