Random discussion crap - Summer '07 edition

Question for the EDF regulars,

For my summer, I am looking into getting hired somewhere. More like a "real" job so to speak, instead of a temporary stop somewhere.

I just graduated college with an undergrad BS in Environmental Science. How do you guys typically handle the questions regarding salary range? My previous employment is poker which I don't want to mention, and projectionist at a movie theatre, which is not terribly lucrative. (It does provide down time for studying and other activities though.)
Making like 13 bucks an hour, thats just under $25k/year assuming 40 hour weeks.

Just any tips for these situations would be really appreciated right about now.
