Reasons a Job might not pay you for your qualifications

[Holicent]

There are many reasons that a job might not pay you based on your qualifications.
First, there may be no market for your skills in your location. If you don't have the skills that are in demand, then it is not worth paying you more than what they are willing to pay someone else who has those skills.

Second, the company may not have enough money to pay you more than what it's already paying other employees. If the company is already paying its employees as much as they can get away with, and wants to add another employee who would cost more than that, then it doesn't make sense for them to offer this employee anything better than what they were already offering their current employees.

Thirdly, there may be internal politics at play that prevent the company from increasing salaries or benefits for any particular position. For instance, if a particular department needs more people but doesn't want to hire anyone from outside of that department because they don't want to lose control over how things are done within that department, then this could prevent a new position from being created or even maintained at all levels of management within this particular department for long periods of time.

A lot of people have to work at jobs they are underpaid. With the current unemployment and inflation rates, most of them are grateful to even have a job that pays the bills.

You can still negotiate for a better pay though. Being underpaid can have negative effects on your finances, mental and physical health. The more skills, professionalism and time the work takes to complete, the more opportunity you have to ask for a better pay.
Doing this should be done with wisdom and caution. Some people tend to have aggressive approach when fighting for their rights, which most of the time doesn't work.

If they refuse to do so and you feel that you can't continue, you can search for other jobs that pay better. It's possible, just not easy to do.

There are so many reasons why people are not making money from the skills they have acquired. Like the poster said , one of the reasons why so many people cannot earn from their skills is the fact that the demand for such is not available in the location they are concentrating on . Normally when thinking of locating a business the location must be highly populated and industrial at the same time..

Sometimes another reasons why this is likely to happen is the fact that we have not taken our time to learn and understand how this business can be done perfectly. This is one of the reasons so many people are not making progress nowadays in the area they have chosen to focus on..
The reason why this is happening is because of the impatient exhibited by people because they are interested to make profit within a short period of time
