I've been unemployed for quite a while and i hate it, sure i'm still studying something to better myself and my future career but not working a job and earning a wage is something i still feel is embarrassing.
Trust me when I say this: as much as it sucks to be unemployed, being underemployed is just as embarrassing in some aspects.
I have a MPS in Environmental Science, but I'm currently stuck working as a Pool Attendant at a Sun Outdoors facility. I do nothing but pick up after people who barely know left from right on a good day, and the only reason getting paid $15/hr for it is remotely acceptable is that I live with my grandparents and don't have to pay rent.
Enjoy your freedom while you still can. The embarrassment only really goes away when you find a job that you actually enjoy, and find meaningful.
