Unless it's a drug trafficking job, then sure why not!

Take the job and continue to look for better paying jobs? I'd be pumped on 35k a year right now.

definitely take it, there are so few opportunities right now that you could be waiting a long time until something else comes up.

You are fuckin luck to get two weeks vacation and 7 sick days at 23. It's a decent starting salary. Any other benefits? If its a job they already offered haggle with your pay. People in their early twenties gettin their first real world job often get screwed in their pay. But if it's drivi distance from your current home I woul do it

i just thought it was funny you decided to ask a forum what other jobs you could do. Look around? check classifieds? use carrer services?

Data entry is the most entry-level job you can get, if they actually pay you 35k a year then do it but have fun hating work.

Take it. In the worst case scenario you earn money and gain experience.

If you find you don't like it, quit. Simple.

Confirmed alias. no 23 year old is named "firstdropkid" and if you were a real account you would have sucked up to eheath when he commented

also where do you live? 35k is a totally different number depending on where you're from.
