Have any of you struggled with knowing your worth as a professional? It can be a difficult thing pin point in the early stages of your career. As you progress in your skill set so does your value. Don't take on cheap pay off jobs just because you want "exposure." Not everyone is looking out for your best interest, especially if you are a fine artist or designer. Sometimes it's easy for people to view art as a charity case or free service. Stand up for your worth as an artist. If you have experience or even a degree don't budge and only take on projects that are worth it to you and the client.
