I agree and don't agree with what Illusion said there.

Yes, it's good to do get a job that you can tolerate and that pays reasonably well at least.

No, you aren't necessarily committed to whatever job or degree you pick.

I have 2 sisters in my age range. I'm the only one who went to university. One has had a few miscellaneous jobs but decided that finance stuff was right for her, and is now an accountant that is getting her degree while on the job. It's hard work but doable. Another sister has had maybe a dozen jobs, several trade/schooling certificates, and is onto another one. I have never had a job relevant to my degree and I'm effectively starting a new career path several years later.

I think it's fair to say that the idea of a single job for life is not the norm anymore, and most people (or so I remember hearing) go through at least one career change in life, so you aren't stuck. There is still opportunity after the fact.
