Seriously, so by Ben's argument, the best thing for poor people to do is either 1. Organize into a labor union to negotiate better wages, or 2. Use violence against the rich as a valid tactic to improve your wages.

But conservatives HATE those two little tricks...

His advice is technically correct, but very vague & not super helpful. He says you need to:

Explore your talents, skills, strengths, etc. Identify them.
Find an outlet or a need in society that plays to your strengths, skills.
Make it pay a lot of money.

Technically not wrong. That's all easier said than done, and it can be hard landing a job that really pays.

Hard to do all those things without support. Student loans for example would allow someone to survive without a low wage job while developing more valuable skills.

What's the conservative position on those again? Checks notes... well fuck you too!
