Earn a Higher Salary!
Damon Darlin, New York Times, 3/3/07

Curious how much money you will make in your field, or are you looking to earn more in your current position? Today there are several websites that report salaries of others in your job. Salary.com, PayScale.com, and Payscroll.com (which is coming out soon) can be especially helpful when you just starting out and are negotiating your salary.

As this article suggests, information is power, and the more factual information you have about how much your colleagues are getting paid, the more willing your boss will be to adjust your pay.

For the full article please go to: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/03/technology/03money.html?ex=
