So, consider those jobs that you can do, but would rather not do for the rest of your life, as educational experiences. Keep aiming (and educating yourself) for that job you love.
My job pays a bit less than pushing carts at Costco- but I LOVE it! I also am working from 8 AM to 6 PM with just over an hour for lunch. My co-workers don't know how I do it- it's simple, I like being there! I also have a couple of "back up" ways of earning money, but I like all of them. Don't condemn yourself to a job you hate. - Granny:hippy:
