This was an entry level documentation manager position, not an entry level
writer position. Do we understand something different by "documentation
manager"? This isn't a secretary who keeps track of documents is it? I've
lived in low paying areas also (Tucson, AZ), but I don't remember even
junior management positions in this range.
