TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Considering that you only have two years experience (and no degree), I think
that you are inflating the idea of what you should be making per year.
Since you already accepted the job at $28,000, you're stuck! It doesn't
matter what someone with a Master's Degree asked for. Either accept what
you have already accepted (and pick up experience along the way), or move
on. You might be able to make a higher salary somewhere else (but two years
and no degree is not much to leverage) but I'd make sure I had an offer on
the table before I cut the cord with your current position.
