One is *always* paid what one is worth!   It is up to the individual
to translate/force intrinsic value into Accounts Receivable.  A
salesman gets commission - a pecentage of sales - for his successful
efforts.  When did a researcher ever get a ha'penny in royalties for a
corporate patent (e.g., multi-$(US)billion Valium, Prozac,
Viagra...)?  Even total income is irrelevant.  What do you keep after
all taxes are paid each year?   About 30%.  What does a CEO keep? 
About 75%.  His income is sheltered offshore, his expenses are
tax-free reimbursed.

When was being clever ever of value to the clever one?

If you want serious sustained secure income you must be a fellow
beating the drum - lawyer, manager, spin artiste - not one of the
fungible sweating bastards rowing the boat.  "The Captain wants to
water ski!  Row harder, scum."
