Did you just try and justify stealing bread from a shop is okay if you're hungry enough? I guess that's why some barbaric places still chop off your hand if they catch you since "abstract sense of morality" isn't enough deterrent. But anyway, while I haven't personally been unemployed long enough to be tempted into wage-slavery, I've known a few people who have been unemployed for at least a year who didn't compromise. (How long is "long period" for you?) They waited for a better opportunity even if it meant they grew a little thinner for a time.
