While I agree with and relate to some of what you said, I must point out that practically everyone on earth thinks their time is special and somehow should be worth more than they are paid. Unfortunately, there are 7 billion+ people on earth who are competing for resources (usually purchased with money). Due to the existence of markets, no matter how convoluted or corrupt they may be, this means the compensation for your time is based on what other people with similar skills are paid.

So in simple terms, if you think you're worth more, get off your ass and get an education (or continue your education), take some training courses, or figure out other ways to make yourself more marketable to an employer.
