Your skill is your currency. Again, your skill is your currency.

Friend, in your journey to growth and excellence, your set of skills is like a currency, it determines how much you can bargain for yourself. Nothing deflates your value like a lack of skills.

Two important lessons you should never forget about skills are these:
First, the price on your set of skills, is not determined by you. No. It is determined by your company, your industry or the society. It doesn’t matter how important those skills are to you, if they’re not important to the market, it is poor value.

Second, the best valuation for skills is replacement cost; how replaceable are the skills you possess? Go for rare skills, you’ll dictate the price. Cheers.
