Compensation
In the 21’st century, market forces are pervasive in setting the price of goods for the most part. Therefore, a person’s worth in society is gauged by the capital one generates for oneself. Think of an iPhone you are ready to plunk over a thousand dollars for, willingly. There are very few things in life that you would be willing to spend that kind of money. Should iPhone charge less than the maximum that people are willing to bear? Of course not.
Never sell yourself short. Match your strength to the career that maximizes your worth.
