Hey Aqmil,


Well, I suppose you can find a job faster if you can do just about

EVERYTHING.... BUT....  Guys who know and do everything don't make near as

much money.  It's true in virtually every aspect of business.  Specialists

make more money and when the economy goes down they usually have work.  It's

true with medicine, the law, construction, etc.  I can't think of one job

where specialists don't get paid more.  Just the other day I was watching

CNN and they showed this architect who ONLY designed restaraunts.  Was he

starving?  NOooooooo...  in fact he wouldn't begin any project where he

didn't make at least a quarter million bucks.  People were flying him all

around the world to design restaraunts.


As for what businesses ask for....

They want you to be 20 years old, work for $20,000 a year, and have 20 years

experience.  You might have to go the extra mile to get your foot in the

door.


Once you've got a job knowing seems to become less important to your

employer IMHO.  Wherever I've worked I've always been the hardest working

guy around.  How much did I make?  Almost the same as everyone else.  I

never got a decent raise working harder than everyone else.  I did however

get a substantial raise every time I quit.  What am I talking about? <g>

I've done this 3 or 4 times over my working career.   Here is how you get

more money in the real world... in my experience.


Make a demand for money that's just SLIGHTLY higher than what you think they

will pay

They'll give you the runaround, give you a small raise or give you nothing

So you quit

They're SHOCKED!

3 hours to maybe a week later they are on the phone giving in to most if not

all of your demands.


I hate the fact that the world works this way, but.... it just does.  If you

want more money don't work harder or learn more.  Do that because you love

what you're doing.  If you want more money, walk out, hehehe.  Now, I can't

comment on how things work in ASIA.  As far as the Western world goes I

think this is your best bet if you're a good employee.  It hasn't failed me

so far... and now that I work for myself I won't need that bit of wisdom

anymore.  Put this to use if you've got status at your work and the courage

to risk your job, hehe.


Sincerely,


Al Rosetti
