[What Are You Worth?]




Envelope 3

You seem to be paid fairly for your area of the country
with no college/technical degree.

To increase your worth: take courses or get a degree in your "new" field. Be sure all your skills -- especially technical ones -- are up to date! Try to show how what you do squarely contributes to revenues or cuts expenses. You might also consider whether you are staying too long at one company so that you are now "part of the woodwork." In other words, longevity and job stability can also lead to salary stagnation!

Remember, for individual questions, it is always best to consult qualified professionals in your specific field. CareerBabe advice is not a substitute for professional advice tailored to your own professional and personal situation.
