Taking less money for experience [Srs]

I was offered a job and took less money than others in the industry are making, I have zero experience so they are my first foot in the door.

They pay about 10 dollars less than what other new guys are making but no other places have called me back. Seems like every posting asks for 2+ years of experience with some of those places skipping that requirement entirely.

I took the job because its good experience and I can move on and get a guaranteed pay bump that is at least 10 dollars within 6 months to 1 year or so.

Im just out of school so it feels good but I feel kinda cucked at the same time.

Best decision you could have made in your situation. Learn as much as possible. Not sure what your career is but try to use the company's dollar to pay for things like classes/certs or anything to gain more knowledge in your field.

Then after about a year you can really leverage your experience and what you learned to direct towards other better jobs and better paying jobs.

Yep

If you're fresh out of school it's all about the experience at this point. Realistically they're probably going to lose a bunch of money off you teaching you how to do your job.

Pro tip - Never stay at your first proper job for too long unless you're clearly getting good opportunities and money. Often people don't forget your mistakes and hold it against you even if you're in the newbie stage.
