You're fucked but this type of situation is not uncommon.
This is how most smallish PR agencies, "digital agencies" and other sorta technical tangential "media" related companies in NYC operate.
You should just get any other sane job as quickly as possible and regroup. Working at Trader Joe's would pay as much and be less of a headache. If you can do any sort of web programming at any capacity you can make 70-120 grand in NYC. I don't know much about PA, but I know there are at least some decent jobs in Pittsburgh.
