<human>: My situation is, I've had the same job since graduation (3 years) within my field of study. In the last 18 months, it has been awful. Awful as in, they owe me up to $9k but people are going back on their word, work 60 hours a week with no overtime or comp pay, and lately, my higher-up has been talking trash on me, but acts like it never happened. So, to say the least, I have been incredibly unhappy. I'd applied at other jobs in my field in the area, but have had no luck. I'm staying in the area because of my significant other.

So, I decided that I've had enough and have been applying for jobs like crazy, including Target and Starbucks. Today, I received a call back from both stores and I have interviews set up for this week. 

My question: Even though my life is so shitty at my current job in my degree field (both BS and MS), is it worth it to go to a low-end job like Target cashier or a Starbucks barista and risk starting at ~$8.00/hour? Is it worth it? How will that look to other employers that I took a break from my field?

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: Is it worth it to leave a miserable job in my field to work somewhere like Target or Starbucks at close to minimum wage?
