Too many people defer investment into their own career, pursuing instead non-ideal jobs that somehow magically put them in a better position for the future. I graduated college in 2009 and see a lot of this.
This is an irrational professional investment, especially for beginners, for two reasons
1) There is no way to way know if the career you are working towards is truly what you want to do
2) There is no way to know whether the job you are working will actually get you there
Focus on doing hard and important work that you love to do now. By starting now you are gaining professional and intellectual interest that you would otherwise be missing out on.
