Can you please define "real job" for me

I have taken a job in a restaurant delivering orders and cleaning. Honestly i make more here than any factory i ever worked. A month or so ago my friend of years comes up to me and says he just quit his job because they gave him a raise and now he doesn't qualify for welfare anymore and his meds are far more than the 25 cent per hour raise he got. He told his boss i wanted his job. He told me how much i would make and its far less than what i make now. I told him I've been here for a year and make way more than he does. He said "yeah now you can finally quit and get a real job" I said "i like it here" and he said "DUDE! You. Work. In. A. Rest....taur....rant." I said "i know and i like it here." He took a step back and put his hands up and said "whatever." Later on i noticed he had unfriended me on social media and when i tried to text him i was blocked.

I took a few things to storage yesterday and seen him there. He is living in a storage unit. I asked whats going on and he said "do you know how embarrassing it is being seen with someone wearing a restaurant uniform?" I told him if he needs a job we are hiring. He laughed at me and said "I'd rather be homeless til a real job comes along"

Why was he so much better when his main criteria for a real job is one that pays low enough to qualify for government help for people who really need it. Quit a job because he did good and got a raise. By his rediculous advice I would realize that if I do the opposite of what he does, I'll get along great.
You have the right idea in finding a job that pays you enough and a job you enjoy doing. You only have yourself to impress, it is your life to live.
