Your worth is not just what someone is willing to pay you. Your worth is how you value and advocate for yourself. Pay and benefit inequity is real, and it affects us all. The concept of self-advocacy is a no-brainer. But it's easier said than done. Experience, and the stories of my colleagues, tell me that the majority of us don't take action until we are really, really angry. That was certainly my situation. But you don?t have to be mad before you decide to do something. Self-advocacy can occur at any time and, the sooner you take your career in your own hands the better.
