You really don't have to point out the great features of cars every time somebody mentions the great features of being carfree. I'm well aware of jobs that require the use of cars, and so is everybody else. However, the topic here is getting a job WITHOUT a car. I doubt if carfree/carlight people would even apply for a job like your wife's, but they can probably find other great jobs in health care that do not require them.
Don't be silly,
The conclusion Heywood made that you agree with isn't a "pro-Carfree" statement. While certainly true in some instances, its an observation on the consequences of poor money management that can afflict motorist and carfree alike.
There's enough legitimate reasons for some people to be carfree that intellectual dishonesty is unnecessary.
