I didn't say anything about a job being a bad choice. I recognize not everyone can be a software developer and that some jobs have bad pay. My point was that if you are poor, and you don't choose to live frugally and save what you can, then you are implicitly choosing to remain poor. This is not to say that everyone can escape poverty, because I don't think that's true, but there are people who don't do themselves any favors and it isn't helpful to blame the consequences of their bad choices on everything else.
