Come one - if you're going to give the guy advice, at least make it truthful. The person who told the guy to read "the truth about the profession" was at least steering him toward good information.

Being persistent isn't the only factor and being willing to take crappy jobs with bad pay and sleep in your car doesn't mean you will definitely end up making a good living or having a good schedule. Some guys could spend their entire life sleeping in their car hoping to land that dream job and it ain't gonna happen. It's not a done deal as long as you're willing to wait long enough. That's a bit more truthful, IMO.
