Boyfriend says I'm controlling?

Anonymous

My boyfriend says I'm trying to control him, but I just think he is making bad decisions. I told him he should get a job that pays more, so he can pay his bills. He wants to keep working fast food, which would be fine, but isn't making enough money. He doesn't want to leave cause he feels like he would be miserable at a different job. I told him he should focus on paying his bills now, then do what he wants, which is cooking. He just says I'm trying to control him.

I'm upset because I think he is being selfish. He's having to ask people for money when he is perfectly capable of getting a higher paying job.

Am I being controlling and is there anything I can say to him?
