I’d phrase that a little differently:
You’re free to pursue whatever career you want and, if you’re willing to do the work, you can support yourself and your family.
Point being that it’s not necessarily both. You may not earn much doing what you love and you may not love what’s necessary to support your family, but both options are there to choose from.

You both are making my point. The American Dream used to be pretty much agree ed upon. It isn't anymore. In fact I rarely hear the phrase.
Its kinda a boomer thing. I don't care about it either. I think it was propaganda anyway.
Point is, take the bull by the horns. Don't wait on permission.

I break the American Dream down to simply put being free to work in whatever I chose and being able to take care of my family. Yes, there are issues with that like what if I want to be a volunteer or I want to be a marine biologist but in general people can come here and while it used to be the tech jobs (and still is to an extent) that people could make life-changing sums with now we have blue-collar clearing 6 figures and having no debt from school.
