It ISN'T.

You either need to live somewhere super-poor where you'll feel relatively prosperous in comparison, mooch off a parent or partner, defraud your bottom of the barrel clients... or put the lot of them in your Spam folder and seek better pay elsewhere.

Every market will have predatory employers. Try to avoid dealing with those if at all possible.
