We're talking about changing a job, and learning a new skill to get a new job. It's something a large amount of people spend 12+5 years 10 hours a day to prepare for, although quite inefficiently.

I may be not familiar enough of the situation in US, but to study for a new job, people generally make compromises: staying with the family so that they don't need to provide that much money, or still work, but let other people do the house cleaning. If a person has to do all of these and still study, generally there's no time left for fun/personal life, and they accept it as part of life.

Sadly most people with low income jobs in 3rd world countries that I know have a life like robots :(
