Not everyone is capable of being self-employed. A lot of people are willing to work hard, but need the structure of being told when and where to show up, and what to do.
The fundamental nature of any transaction is that when one party is in a tough position (the formal term is having a poor "best alternative to a negotiated agreement") that person is going to get screwed over. When your BATNA is to have your kids go hungry, most decent parents will gladly give up their own dinners, let alone their Facebook password.
