You Are Not What You Earn

Often the best and most useful jobs in the world do not reflect their worth in monetary terms.  Compare the income of a person who works in a women's shelter with that of a multinational CEO or a trashy radio DJ. The world needs people with consciences in caring employment.  This does not imply that you do not deserve a better wage or should not voice the right to equal pay, but sometimes exorbitant salaries involve exorbitant compromise.  Know your needs, know your values, and try your best to wed the two.
