And what was your title/job description?

I'll start:
Govt contractor (IT field)

in 2 months, worked hard to get my certification, and caught up enuf to be sort of qualified for the position, but still overpaid.

After a year, I was well qualified, and was worth the $.

but in that year, i'm thinking of all the $ the tax payers is wasting. go me :)

How about you (overpaid AND under qualified)?

I was underpaid until I got my new job which starts in 2 weeks. I am now about right what I make. I used to make 40k for deskside support which I have 5+ years of experience.

Right out of college, I was a little bit under qualified for the web developer position and the salary was good because it was web development was "hot" back then. Got the job by knowing a friend working there already. I quickly got up to speed though after working there for 6 months.
