Although I can see how it could come across as unsupportive, they may not have meant it in a bad way? A job thatβs paying the bills is a positive thing, plus social interaction and keeping busy. Iβve done plenty of basic jobs myself over the years, and come from a working class family, and would never think less of anyone because of their job title. If itβs a close friend then maybe you could ask what they meant by it, but maybe they were just seeing that you might be getting down about the job hunting and were suggesting alternatives?
