It is not always enough to be paid what you are worth.  I am about to take a pay cut in order to leave a horrible job in the private sector, to go back to my previous job in a non-profit organization.  I AM going to get a hefty pay raise from what I was making when I left the old job a few months ago, but it is a bit less than what I am making right now.

I never dreamed I'd be so happy to take a pay cut!  I am also getting a title improvement that will more accurately reflect my responsibilities, but the job will be more or less the same one that I left.  

I'll tell the story more fully elsewhere, but for me, right now, it is enough to be paid as much as they can afford, to do something I love, rather than to be paid what I am worth, while being miserable.
