Just for context, 30% of VA's only make between $13,000 and $30,000 per year in the U.S. The next 21% make between $31,000 and $48,000.

High living!

Then dont go into that business then. Its not a full time job.

Its like me wanting to make a living out of mowing lawns. I mow my neighbors lawn and they pay me 100$. I try to get more work from other people and nobody wants my service. Should I then go back to my neighbor and tell them "Hey, you need to pay me more money because I cant make a living out of 100$"?

Failed to address the point that if somebody has a full-time job, they are highly unlikely to have the availability necessary to be a VA. Given that VA work demands that availability, those paying for it need to pay for the opportunity cost, not just the actual working hours. Otherwise nobody would VA. 

And that is why the rate is $250 /hr. Nobody would be a VA if it paid $15 /hr for 16 hours per week once every few months. That is fundamentally different from the nature of a landscaping business.
