The days of walking out of Uni and attaining a position with relatively high wages is long gone. A degree used to be a passport to a well paid carreer but in a job market where you can choose from a big bucket of applicants somewhat negates the high pay scales of the past.
In most Degree based employment a good ($100K/ annum) salary is usually not reached until you have a good employment history and something to add to the position which can be quantified and sought after.
It will get harder to get a well paid position into the future so hang on to your positions and try to bring something special to your work. Make yourself an integral part of the place and the salary will come with time.
