I second that this is an obnoxious, elitist thing to say. Having said that, it was also clearly an exaggerated statement intended to induce pity, and encourage those pity superchats. And it's just stupid - Josh is a teacher, a MUSIC teacher. Why didn't he consider teaching private music lessons or tutoring when they needed extra income? Especially during the summer, when he doesn't have a day job for 3 months? Oh that's right - he hates his day job and just wants to hang out in the parks. And even in private schools, it would probably be an ethical violation for a teacher to accept $500 paypals.Funny you should say that. I remember Josh trying to justify his grifting one night and said something like, "If I weren't doing this, I would be delivering pizza." But he said it in a way that implied delivering pizza was beneath him.
