You should certainly get good at wage negotiations. For about 5-10 minutes of what some people feel is the most uncomfortable conversation of their industry you can increase your earnings by $5-20k or more. As well as bonuses etc. out of a good negotiation.

Sometimes the 5 minutes of negotiation have greater impact on your earnings than the following 5 years of hard work.
