Is there anyway to find out your “worth”?

Not in any like…deep sense of the word ha just to get better expectations.

I’m coming from a very non traditional background. I worked a little and excelled in sales, moved up to corporate trainer in a 4 year span. I had to work before school despite having a 3.8 in high school because of family health issues. Then went to school but overseas (a top 10 school in Korea) because I got a scholarship and focused on more quantitative things majoring in stats and econometrics. Im graduating in December with a 3.9. I couldn’t get an internship due to labor laws here (I can only work 15-20 hours a week)

So yeah I have this random background thats more non traditional than just non target. I have no idea what I’m actually going to be worth in the field. I just started applying for jobs and have only received a handful of responses and one interview this week with a commodities research firm. Not sure if I’m in the take whatever I can get mode or can afford to be a bit picky.

Thanks for the time
