I think that's crazy too but I'd like to offer a counterpoint.

People with better options (most people with the skills to do it...) won't take those jobs.

But as someone from a "non standard" background (no qualifications on paper but could do the job), low paid jobs demanding relatively high skills were actually really useful for me in terms of building work experience and a network.

The environments tended to be chaotic and high turnover but proved to be a useful stepping stone rather than a dead end.

Whether or not that's too little depends on where you live. In large swaths of the US, 65k lets you live as comfortably as a 6 figure salary in the big cities.
