Good for you. That's *your* decision and works for you but certainly does not represent everyone.
I consider myself a skilled laborer/artist with years of experience in my craft; and expect to be paid surely as least partly as well as a skilled plumber. Or tree trimmer. Or house painter, for Pete's sake, without demeaning criticism from fellow quilters.
I purely hope this new member to the board searches for other topics on this very subject which are archived here, and does not end up feeling the need to diminish her worth as a quilter/artist/sewist.
