My parents are pissed that I took a minimum wage job over EI

1 month ago 39

I was about to be let go soon from my auditing internship job and job offer revoked due to company budget reasoning.

I told my parents and they encouraged me to apply to online accounting positions which I did and I revamped and redid my resume many times.

I got nothing at all so then I gave up and for the past month tried minimum wage jobs and finally got one that also lets me do OT and might even eventually lead to a sales job in the future or manager role as they have many differnet warehouses.

Now, I have around 6 years split in taxation and auditing. No recruiter/temporary agency can find me a job so this permeant job even in a warehouse seems like a better cover up if asked why I couldn't find an accounting job after graduation than just being unemployed.

What do you guys think? Did I make the right choice because after graduation I wanted to relax and do stuff I loved and then my job offer that was 20 dollars above minimum wage got revoked and even with an honors degree in accounting and a diploma I couldn't find the job when I tried really hard for the past 1.5 months and was trying before for the past 5 months.

I also earn commission in this job.

They said EI would let me do another school course for free and eventually get an actual good paying job but I already tried that route and now have debt.

So, just to take a chill pill after graduation I'm fine with this job for the next 5-6 months at least until I lick my wounds and have some actual income coming in and not EI.
