I understand why it's worth your while not to be picky and to accept being a babysitter first and then do everything else afterwards. I can understand why a minister, or any adult with some common sense, might advise young people not to be "choosy", but to roll up their sleeves and to get started somewhere. I certainly wouldn't have gotten the job I have today by staying at home and sending out CVs.
Wäre ich zuhause geblieben und hätte Bewerbungen verschickt, hätte ich sicher nicht die Stelle gefunden, die ich heute habe.
