    Yes except lecturers also make bank.

    The only people not making good money are the PhD students who also teach. Even then most of us I think get more money than the undergraduates.

    Even I as a student get something like £19,000 a year plus £40 per hour teaching rate for any classes I teach.

    Either these people are manipulating you or there is something very wrong with academia in your country. Luckily moving countries is quite easy for academics as many Universities will hire foreign staff and there are often immigration laws in place for these kinds of people.
