your jobscope is catered towards a very niche crowd but assuming you play a considerable role in what you just said, i can see elements where you were involved in a results-oriented environment, project management, events management, and even down to customer service where you handled students' inquiries. 5 years of this is no pushover so you have to do the rest of the junior to middle level career professionals a favour and not depress wages. in my honest opinion, unless you're really screwed up during interviews, anyone who's telling you you are supposed to get anything below 4k is very wrong. do not believe recruiters as they have client's budget to meet in mind and do not believe HR as cost containment is obviously a measure for them.

i think you need to think through how to better position yourself to your prospective employer with your years of experience and present a more convincing image during interviews, if you have not done so already.
