respectfully, you may not like what he said but it's absolutely true. If you are relying on that to support a family, odds are you made some poor life choices that one owns solely. Those jobs should be for kids earning money while in school, learning responsibility etc. or retirees earing extra money and other such happenings. It's not a career and shouldn't be the aspiration to support a family.
everyone's situation is different and always think we should give benefit of the doubt but this whole shift in thinking for what is a job that should be capable of supporting a family has gone tits up.
America is still the land of plenty and opportunity, people need to make better choices and take advantage of the opportunities that avail themselves
