<prompt> Human: Recently got my law degree but there are no vacancies availabe anywhere. So I am currently on welfare. Welfare over here totals to around 1400 a month 1000 welfare and 400 worth of grants for rent and health care since Im great at budgeting and my rent is pretty low I have plenty of money.I got some job offers in a completely unrelated field which I honestly dont care much for and is also below my level of education. It would also require 2 hours of travel time. Meaning I would spent 50 hours a week if you include travel time just to make 200 more in a workfield I see no future in. On the other hand living on welfare does make me feel like a bumAssistant: As long as the money and time that you spend driving is less than 200, then yes! The jobs - regardless of how unrelated they are to your degree - will look good on your resume and it will give you purpose! Would definitely recommend getting a job.Edit: you could also keep the same budget and put the extra you earn towards savings or an emergency fund! You wont regret itHuman: Thing about living in a welfare state is there is no need for an emergency fund. The governmenthealth insurance covers nearly everything.  <response>: This underlies so many of the problems we have as a country right now
