I have had people tell me this when I was struggling, but I didn't go get a job "flipping burgers" or stocking shelves. It's demoralizing. I held out for better jobs and in the end, waiting and getting paid more was worth 3x more than working an entry-tier job. IMO, I suggest not getting "any" job, but attempt to get a related (I call it lateral shift) job.
