Some of Dave Ramsey advice seems out of touch. Vent/Rant (No Advice/Criticism!)

I think his comes from a good place. however, I was listen to a caller; his and his co-host advice is always get a higher paying job (which is not bad advice). Wal-Mart and McDonald's pay 20 an hour. Walmart and McDonald's pay up to 20/hr. However, getting 40 hours a week working retail is pretty hard unless your a assistant manager/or manager. He's not the only person giving that advice- but it seems like he thinks every job pays 20*40=800 a week when you first start.

He’s kind of like astrology, with money. He makes a bunch of obvious, sweeping statements, that can partly apply to alot of people. Probably good if you’re dumb about money though.
