Haven't watched in years but are they a dual income household now to be able to afford their home? And Homer a university graduate to be able to work at a power plant?
Single income, though there is a recent episode in which Bart goes to see Homer at work and realizes how much money Homer makes for how little he does. Bart loves the concept of Homer's job, then assumes this is the job he'll get after Homer retires and he feels good about his future. Then there's a literal song and dance from a janitor about how that type of job no longer exists, and when Bart is old enough to work he'll be worked ragged. s33e22 Poorhouse Rock
Last I knew they were still single income.
Homer was forced to go to college and take relevant courses, but not graduate AFAIK. Pretty sure he only passed those courses by cheating even.
I've seen several episodes about how he got the job, but the method that sticks in my mind is groveling.
It is kind of funny over the years Homer has become more and more of a catch with his financial stability, and Burns if he is still around actually a really good boss who takes care of his employees with great salaries.
Plus Burns, while stingy, will keep on even his greatest liabilities.
