There's nothing wrong with settling, you can go a week without food but not a month. There's nothing wrong with working a shitty job or six, there's nothing wrong not working in your field and there's certainly nothing wrong with not having your dream job-do you really think all those guys who worked in the mines or built the railroad were worried about their dream job? No, what they were worried about was putting food on the table and making sure there is a roof over their head. Feed your family, put a roof over your head and then worry about getting a better job. The privilege that allows all these people to sit at home and not work because the job doesn't check all their boxes is astounding. I remember the Reagan recession and I just got out of college in time for the Bush I recession, I know what it's like when there are no jobs and it's horrible. A job is just that a job, it gives you money so you can eat. If you like to eat you need to work, how hungry you are determines how shitty of a job you'll take.
