are you paid enough?

Let's face it. It's hard to find a decent job. With so many graduates every year, the number of applicants had soared up but there's not much vacant jobs for everybody. The end result is we tend to take jobs even though we're higly qualified for the position. The situation is really alarming and saddening. Imagine investing so much on your education but then you dont get to practice in your field because of job shortage. And because of that you're being paid smaller than what you're really capable of earning. I know because I've experienced it already. The company where I used to work provides file management services to a foreign client. The client pays us enough but then most of it just goes to our local company. We end up receving just a fraction of what we actually should. Overworked but underpaid. What about you, do you u think you're being paid enough in your job?

its really had to find a good job today that pays what you really are worth.it is the very reason why i left my work because i find it unfair for me that i see my boss getting richer by the day when im just stuck in the office and not advancing in my chosen field financially.now i feel much better because im earning three times as much as my office work i my business now.

that's exactly my point.. thanks johndur! :D Where is justice in that, right? You're lucky you were able to put up your own business. That's a wise move. Aleast now you earn more than what you did in your previous job. Keep it up and I wish you all the best! =D
