Tbf, a guy who’s that unreliable would have a ton of difficulty holding any job at all due to unexcused absence. He’d probably be working below minimum wage or getting fired every other week.
Although things have obviously changed a lot. I’m reading mercy Thompson right now, where a character complains about barely being able to afford living alone after giving away 60% of their check. Iirc they’re supposedly a waitress.
I figured that’s why he’s canonically a news photographer. It’s the only job he could hold because of his unreliability, and he can literally set up the shots himself. Also $60 per shot makes a lot more sense if it’s the '70s.

Yeah it’s easy to forget that in the 70s a single income was expected to provide for 4-6 people. Maybe not comfortably, but not homeless.
