Many people feel like they don’t make what they’re worth. The problem is you shouldn’t be paid what you’re worth.

1. Companies can’t afford to pay you what you’re worth. There’s an issue of margins.

2. If you are bent on being paid what you’re worth, then you’ll only consider yourself worth what you can be paid.

3. You may be getting paid more than your paycheck. You should be. The work experience, the social interactions, and other intangibles should be invested into you. If not, then either the company doesn’t provide what you need or you aren’t acknowledging it.

The bottom line is that YOU make what you’re worth. The company doesn’t make it for you.
