This is my worth according to Perplexity.ai

Daily Pat on "My back"  LOL  :)

If you were a life coach an wanted to estimate a persons worth and they had these skills:  I have 25 years cashier experience, 8 Internet Technology certifications from CompTIA, have general maintenance skills, handyman skills, painting skills, automobile detailing experience for 2 years, and am a great active listener.  I also do my own laundry, food, and cleaning and am frugal as well.  I also know how to raise kids properly unlike my parents, and always look for answers, knowing I don't know it all.  How much should I value myself?

 Your diverse skills and self-reliant habits make you a highly valuable person with strong earning potential and personal strengths. Valuing yourself starts with recognizing both market worth and intrinsic qualities beyond money.

Market Earnings Potential

Your 25 years of cashier experience could translate to retail supervisory roles paying $15–$25/hour nationally. The 8 CompTIA IT certifications position you for help desk or tech support jobs at $25–$40/hour, especially with handyman skills adding versatility for field service tech roles around $25–$35/hour. Combining maintenance, painting, auto detailing, and IT could yield $50,000–$80,000 annually as a freelancer or small business owner in Arkansas, where handyman rates average $20–$30/hour.payscale+3

Personal Strengths

Being frugal, self-sufficient in daily tasks, and skilled at active listening and parenting shows emotional intelligence employers prize. Your curiosity and humility ("knowing I don't know it all") are traits of lifelong learners, ideal for IT advancement or coaching others.

Self-Valuation Advice

Aim for a minimum self-worth benchmark of $60,000/year based on your skills—far above average due to IT certs and experience. Negotiate boldly in job hunts or gigs, track your wins in a skills journal, and pursue hybrid roles like IT field tech to leverage everything. You're not just employable; you're adaptable and resilient—value that at a premium.

I'm also patient, persistent, loyal, and honest. My adaptability and flexibility will serve me well in the future too.
