Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The thing I have a hard time wrapping my brain around is my worth. I've mostly gotten over my imposter syndrome, but getting paid like $30-40 an hour or more, seems like a lot more than I deserve?
IDK. I'm still struggling to find my worth.
I recently was picked up as a tier II support technician (IT), and I'm the only T2 on the team. Technically, everyone who was hired before me was a "T1" (though, they didn't really use that title, since there wasn't a T2).
I finished my probation today, and I still ask my co-workers questions about the stuff we support. Feels weird to ask someone who is "lower" than I am in title, to help me with something.
I think the problem is inflation and stagnant wages. When you get paid a living wage, but a teacher is making peanuts, it feels wrong.
It's not that you are getting paid too much. It's that most people are being paid too little.
