It's a nice thought, but IQ is very real. The reason I was tested was because at an IQ of 80 to 84 you might be able to qualify for disability benefits from social security. I didn't qualify, but it was so close to the edge that from what I'm told, it caused a spirited debate with the workers assigned to my case.
Though pray tell I ask, what on earth makes you think I would deserve 'better?' Should someone more that brings more value then then I not be proportionally rewarded better?
The more steps between you and the revenue the less you get paid based on the value you bring. Far away from the revenue, the value you bring just sets a wage ceiling.
You deserve exactly as much as what you can bargain for. Which could be $40,000 for 40 hours a week. You can be grateful for your current job and also look for better hours.
You should be proud of your current accomplishment. If your current situation is not working for you, you are allowed to work towards finding a better job.
