Steps to getting a salary increase - acquire new job-related skills

The Kiplinger.com article discusses how Melissa Maier, an administrative assistant for a chemical company gave her career a boost by taking professional classes. These classes helped her move up into a technical position as a Web-content and graphic designer. As per Maier, "I have a more technical job, so really mastering these programs has made work more exciting." She took several 1-2 day technical classes on topics such as Photoshop, XML, Visual Basic, costing under $1,000.

Fortunately, with many schools offering online courses and even degree programs, it's gotten much easier and convenient to take classes. I myself have been taking online classes and enjoy the flexibility they offer, while at the same time, giving me chance to learn new skills.
