I have very restricted choices, it’s different from the choices you have and that is why it is easy for corporations to keep the wages down , the “lower wages” I get here is still way higher than what I’d make if I chose any of the choices I have.

So you're choosing the best option according to an objective standard, which is your wage. Restricted choice != no choice, and in the face of that, to compare it (and the salary that exceeds most of the world) to true slavery is pretty melodramatic.
