Everyone wants to think they're the most valuable thing in the world, but economics doesn't care about how much people value themselves. It only cares about when both buyer and seller agrees to the value of their work.

You may think a farm worker deserves $500,000,000 a year, but that won't matter until someone else decides to pay them that.

Ultimately, it's OK to say some things are more valuable than others, including the value of your labor.
