"WILLY: How can he find himself on a farm? Is that a life? A farmhand? In the beginning, when
he was young, I thought, well, a young man, it’s good for him to tramp around, take a lot of different jobs. But it’s more than ten years now and he has yet to make thirty-five dollars a week! "
This quote reflected the "American dream" in the 1920s: earning lots of money. The Great Gatsby also mentioned about how people in that era tried urgently to earn money and fame. I think in this quote, Willy is like Tom in the degree that disgracing people who don't have any physucal accomplishments in their life.
