Actually a lot of people feel stuck just because they think their degree must define their career path but the truth is life doesn’t always follow that plan. Pride really holds many people back from starting small or doing things they think are below their level. But starting small is sometimes the only way to get anywhere, your friend’s story is a great example. If he had waited for the perfect job he might still be doing nothing It’s better to take action and grow from there instead of just hoping something will come.
