Actually, I'd rather have low pay cause at least, you're still
working and can pay off your daily expenses. You won't be able to
afford much but at least, not running on deficit.
The longer one stays unemployed, the deeper into depression one
sinks. 
Besides, at work, you interact with colleagues and customers, which
sometimes, makes life interesting. 
It's kinda like the principle of falls in old folks - the longer
the fallen old folk stays on the floor, the higher the chances of
depression and the lower the chances of full holistic recovery.
