Even if a BG would like to get a normal job it seems impossible in most cases, atleast without help getting trough the roughest parts.

The family money pit trap is a common miss conception.. If an average issaan wage is 5k and people live on that why should she have to send 3x a normal persons wage to help her family..
My wifes father lived on 3 rice harvests a year at about 40k per harvest.. Sure they were poor but that supported a whole family of people..
Often once the girl starts sending the money it becomes a slippery slope of consumerism not survival that pressures her to stay in the bar.
