You don't understand it because it doesn't make sense. Some people make good money here. Others don't. Sometimes it's a choice other times people only earn what their qualifications can get them, still anyone with a bit of drive can make good coin here. Sure you can earn more elsewhere but you'll work for it, and need qualifications beyond the bare minimum required here. From looking at job boards China offers a wider range of work than most countries, from lower paying university jobs requiring minimal effort to higher paying international schools requiring people with qualified teacher status and everything in between.

They are both factory English schools where profit (not education) is the bottom line. I worked for Web. (note the past tense) They sell the image of professionalism, but apparently they ran out of money before it came time to purchase decent curriculum. If you are a 'real' teacher, don't work for Web. If you are an 'entertainer teacher' - or a comedian, then by all means do.
Wall Street seems more professional in the sense that the students there are learning English for an actual purpose, while at Web, you get a lot of people who are seriously stupid enough to pay massive amounts of money to be in the same room with a white person who will make them laugh. Actual learning is secondary, if that.
