Taking any job vs doing what I want to do


Recommended Posts

I recently graduated. Zero student loans, magna cum laude honors in 3.5 years, 40 k left over from my college fund.

 

But after applying for jobs after the last 2.5 months I haven't even gotten an interview. What I do get is interview requests for sales manager positions at various companies, some of them fairly reputable like Prudential insurance.

 

I don't think I would like, or be good at these positions, and I have no interest in a career in sales. But I feel people are starting to look at me like I am a slacker because I don't have a job yet and I am worried it will make me seem unattractive to women.

 

So here's the rub. Bite the bullet and work in a job I'm pretty sure I'd hate and become somewhat independent or wait for a job I'd conceivably enjoy? I am preparing for the LSAT, preparing for my college's job fair, and applying for a few jobs every other day but I don't have that "I'll take any job that comes my way mentality" others have. I don't know if I should or if I don't have that attitude because I have a nice place to live and a decently filled bank account. any advice? Should I just get a job regardless of what it is?
