You're not being exploited, get over it.

People who work at gun point are exploited, we call them slaves. You have the choice to look for more work. You are an asset to your company, thats why they pay you. If you feel that its unfair for them to show you off as a capable person who can do the job, then choose another company who will undervalue your worth.

I went to high school once, never got paid for it. I read a book yesturday, didnt get paid for that either. Heck, I'm here on this website, because the only guy who knew perl left, and I'm not getting paid to learn it.

What I suggest is that you work on your negoitation skills a bit more. You sound like you're looking for a reason to leave your company (espically after you ask for a raise and they deny you). At the next company, think about the wage they're offering you and what they expect in return.
