Just thinking about all you guys with kids (soon to be entering the work force) what sort of jobs are even available to these kids? Or if you were a middle aged man (40+) looking for a career change, what sort of opportunities are available out there?

One guy i know, isnt doing that well and was trying to find a second gig to supplement his income and couldnt find jack shit. His day job is some plant supervisor (70k a year), but between his insane mortgage, his wife who doesnt do jack shit (shes disabled or something), and his 4 kids + 2 dogs, he's totally boned. Gotten so bad that he contemplated killing himself a few times. I told him he would leave his kids destitute and thats not the fucking answer.

He was going to downsize the house (living in a townhouse that was 1.2 mill) but with the prices of homes right now, he says the market value for his place was around 800-900k and he cant stomach that kind of loss. I really feel for the guy, but what can i do. I threw him a few postings for BC ferries and shit but the only thing that he can do is some lousy uber eats that pays jack squat.

It's not the 80s, you can't afford 4 kids on one salary..... At least not at 70k.
