    I understand those saying Dave is out of touch but he also acknowledged that until she gets a better job she's got to work multiple.
    And look where I live, it's not California and I see certain fast food restaurants starting people at $18 an hour.
    So having a defeatist attitude that you can only make $20 an hour is also a poor way to approach this situation mentally.
    I'm not saying that she can just easily go out and get a $50 an hour job tomorrow. And I don't necessarily think Dave thinks that's the case, I just think he's trying to light a fire under her so that she goes out and gets creative and looks under every nook and cranny to try to find any job that will pay higher or at least put her on the path to making more money.

    Engineering , tech ,healthcare and education degrees are a few of the ones that get you the extra money but your experience is the things that os going to take you higher on your fields not necessarily the degrees...the degrees just get your feet wet in fields but it doesnt get you the true understanding of real world applicable experience for employment unless your classwork is xonjoined with thimgs like apprenticeships/internships

      I'm a mathematics major and we have a lot of students who were psych majors first. Math and psych are very similar make the change but choose wisely like comp sci or something because pure math sucks.

      @@front331 in what way is math and psychology similar? One is a hard science, the other is lots of abstract concepts with no real right or wrong answer, just interpretations.

    I believe Dave is saying don't settle for a $20 dollar an hour job with that type of degree. He over exaggerates a lot like the beans and rice comment. He doesn't actually mean literally rice and beans. He is more psychological with his money advice than math. He builds confidence in his listeners do go find a higher paying job and to go do the work.

    "Palm Springs isn't exactly cheapville." Bro, it isn't even cheapville where I live where jobs basically don't want to offer more than $13 an hour at 40 hours per week, while rent is $700+ a month for a one bedroom one bathroom apartment! Yeah, that's why I work 25 minutes away for $34k a year after taxes, a job that actually provides a LIVING WAGE for just me! If I were to limit my potential to just where I live, I'd be $20 a month shy of qualifying for an apartment here since $13 an hour x 40 hours a week is $520, then x 4 means $2,080 a month, and you need $2,100 to BARELY qualify unless you have a roommate, and I've asked people if they want to be roommates, none of them said yes! We're told we need to be INDEPENDENT. Okay, who the hell is independent exactly? We all need each other to make the world run. Not even the corporations are independent, not as long as they need workers, and we need farmers for our food, and we need construction workers to build houses and apartments, and we need mechanics to fix our vehicles, etc.! So this idea of being independent is just an illusion if you think about it, even if you have enough money to retire, where did you get that money? Even if you built your own house, where did you get the materials, and did you have to buy them? If so, it's not exactly independency if you think about it.

    She needs to never mind throwing her money away on ANY rent and go watch some "living in a van" videos on YT and buy herself a van to live in for the next couple of years and get OUT of that nasty situation she is in. She could also easily move around then if she needed to.
