True, unless you can't pay your bills. I took my job before last in that situation. It was for a C# job maintaining a legacy app for $45k/yr. We were literally selling stuff to pay our bills at that point, so I had to take it. It turned out to be a great job with a great employer. I left to join a startup but then back a year later when they offered me a 50% salary increase to come back. The 'sell my stuff to pay bills' phase was during the height of the meltdown; I was literally applying for janitorial jobs we were so desperate at that point.
