8. Sometimes you just have to survive
When you have a plethora of choices, you can afford to be more discriminating. For now, take the job if you can get it. Hold your nose, get a paycheck, and maybe use them to gain some new skills to expand your choices in the future.

My materialistic, conspicuous consumerist older sister has worked for Lockheed for 25 years. They put her through college and pay her a six-figure salary. Her only concern is buying stuff with a well-known label and talking about the stuff she buys. So, working there suits her just fine. She lost her conscience a long time ago. And yes, she's a * supporter, although she has a gay daughter. Go figure.

Good luck; let us know how it goes!
