What you are proposing is far out of reach for most Americans.
“Put together a million dollars” and “work remotely”? The biggest employer in Houston by a huge margin is the oil and gas industry - most of those jobs are not going to be remote and a lot of those jobs are not a pathway to $1 million. What about people who work in hospitality, roughly 10% of the workforce?
You’re describing this as relatively simple/achievable but for a lot of people it simply isn’t. Houston has one of the highest poverty rates in the country with 1 in 5 living below the poverty line - https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/houston/2025/09/12/530735/houston-has-the-highest-poverty-rate-among-the-biggest-cities-in-the-u-s-new-data-find/ https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/houston/202...

- Forgeties79 1y agoI am talking about what jobs people in Houston actually have as well as the socio-economic realities of the city. “Just get a remote job and make $1 million“ is not serious advice.
