The post-doc where I got my PhD was making $5k less than I, or around 17k
His English sucked, his physics PhD in non linear quantum mechanics useless and his resume-writting skills was non existent.
Yet, he's the only person to read my thesis, the cluster worked only thanks to his efforts, and he administered 20~30 workstations while doing his research. I would not have graduated without him and he is more dear to me than anyone I met at school.

I think it's tragic that they low ball international students that way. Many of the ones I have met work exceptionally hard; including doing activities like you mentioned.
