I'd be willing to cut an unemployed person a break if they're doing their best to find a job. By that I mean doing your own thing (entrepreneurship), volunteering, looking into higher education, etc. As Himuro pointed out, the effective unemployment/underemployment rate for people our age is about 50% It's unrealistic to assume that you need a job, let alone a good paying job, as an expectation. Otherwise there are going to be a lot of lonely people out there.
A girl I dated two years ago didn't have a job but she volunteered at the Girl Scouts for several months, until a job opening there came up and she took it. Now if she sat on her ass and ate Ben and Jerry's watching Real Housewives of Orange County, then I would have left her ass from the get go.
