I agree, people get too bogged down in finding their “perfect job”, I believe you can learn something from any experience and you will end up using that skill for something completely random one day.
Also, I wanted to add something Ali Abdaal quoted once, that really stuck with me. A German doctor conducted a survey among very old patients and he asked them what they regretted in life. Almost all of them said that they never regretted anything that they did but rather what they didn’t, maybe out of fear or anxiety. I’ve been saying yes to every opportunity since, even if I am unsure and I am happier than ever.

@jonesdedward337 and I are great believers in what we call “strategic serendipity”. That is, maximising the chance that something significant happens in your life which resents an opportunity of some kind, whether personal or professional. And when it happens, being in a position to rapidly make a decision about whether to seize on that opportunity or to pass it up.
We rarely get a second chance in life - I agree that it’s too easy to pass things up only to feel later “if only”.
