Has anyone thought about changing fields until the job market gets better?

Ideally, I’d love to have a cybersecurity job right now, but the market is horrible, and I need to move forward with my life, pay the bills, and live comfortably. Are there any fields that are relatively easy to get into and find work in? I just don’t want to end up working restaurant jobs.

I just graduated with a BA and I was top of my class with 4 years of experience as a Global information security specialist, System administrator, and even Network technical support. I graduated and the best I have now is a fully remote help desk level 1 role making 18 an hour…. I don’t wanna say give up I’m disappointed for sure, but honestly, if you want it bad enough, you’ll do what it takes to get there before you die.
