i feel really depressed having no job

i got told i should lower my standards and work in a basic minimum wage job so (retail and warehouse work ) what is the point of that if there’s no career professional? i want a job so my gf won’t leave me because she can do better , but a minimum wage job with 0 career progression is still shit and i’ll still be looked down on. she’ll probably still leave me for someone with a nice high paid job i don’t like retail . i worked a retail job before and ended up getting arrested on terrorism charges cuz the abuse i got from patients drove me crazy . i don’t get how working in a warehouse or being a cleaner is going to give me career progression? people will look down on me and still say i’m a loser m
