I was about to correct you, but no, it really has been 80 years. Time is cruel.
I mean, it wasn't that long ago the the Simpsons represented the bottom of the middle class--a high-school educated father with a stable job (with a dental plan) and a home, two cars, two kids, and a SAH wife.
Just a few years earlier Billy Joel was positively bitching "who needs a house out in Hackensack? Is that all you get for your money?" Like, yeah, that sounds pretty good relative to paying 60% of your income in rent, Anthony.
If you're having trouble finding a job, have you tried just going into the company directly and asking? I'm sure they'd take one look at you and immediately see what an intelligent and capable person you are and hire you right away. /s
I think you replied to the wrong comment, but yeah, this advice just keeps getting worse every decade.
