<prompt> Human: I recently started my first post-college job in a typical office environment. There is one other person with me in training, and we have been getting along great. Yesterday when we were learning a few of the computer systems, he told me where to check on my paycheck status and told me how much he makes. Its only 1,000 more annually, however -I- have my Bachelors degree in a related field and he has not graduated yet. We started at the exact same time and honestly, I am more capable than he is, though Im not trying to disparage him, butit put me in a foul mood all night. We arent making much money, so the extra 1k is kind of a big deal to me right now.What do I do? Its only been about 2 weeks since I started the job, so I dont want to storm in to my supervisors office and demand a raise, but I just cannot get over making less money for seemingly no reason. Im very frustrated.Edit: Yes, we both have the EXACT same job. And I tried to negotiate my starting salary. They told me it was a firm number and there was no room for negotiations.  <response>: In the real world you get paid for what you do, not your degrees. Education only gets your foot in the door, it doesnt guarantee that you will make more money than other people. I would suggest you forget about it and get to work. If you get a chip on your shoulder, you wont last long because you will be a toxic person to work with.
