This. If it's anything different, you're doing it wrong.

Based on the amount of work I put in, how long I've been able to maintain my job, and how much knowledge I have... i'd say i'm getting paid a dollar or two less an hour than I should be. I'm consistently top in sales and without me, the store would crumble to the ground.

I make iPhones at an Apple factory in Guangdong province. I make 80 cents an hour, but it works out to a lot because I work 96 hours a week. Plus lunch is provided.

In a just world, they would remove the nets from beneath the windows so that I could actually kill myself by jumping.

Probably about 10-20k more than I make now. But people are sooooooooooo obsessed with titles and shit I can't really bank til i have those 3 got damm letters after my name, but whatever. I don't compare myself to certified folks bc that's a different range altogether.

I know about how to be aggressive, be be aggressive, but til I can sign that return it doesn't mean shit so whatevs. One day maybe. I can do whatever I want really with what I make for just a single dude so I don't whine that much. I still haven't decided if I ever want to take on my own biz yet so that kinda plays into it... if not, Imma just go work for Exxon when they move here for the next 30 years and get a fat pension.
