Money is a great motivator in any career journey. So is respect for the worker.

What happens when your work and effort are constantly overlooked and unappreciated?

It is easy to allow feelings of self doubt to fester. But, what if you fight back?

You can take an alternative route to maintain your commitment to excellence and get the respect you deserve.

If you're treated like your work doesn't matter at the office, upgrade your skills and knowledge and keep working.

These days, lots of opportunities come as you commit to learning more. Take advantage of all new opportunities.

Also, take advantage of the gig economy. As you stay committed to your regular work, meet more people, identify gaps you can fill in the same industry - external consultant, researcher, speaker, activist, etc.

Filling these roles on a part-time basis, will elevate your status in your chosen industry.
