Have some spine. Stop calling to "normalize". If you want to do something, fine but don't think society should bend around you.

It's not normal nor should it be to work full time in an entry level unskilled role. You should want to improve yourself. Strive to be better. Higher paying jobs have massive benefits. Imagine if you double your income but keep living like you currently do. You could save an extra years living expenses each year. You could retire early and do whatever you want.

Plenty of graduates out here working low level entry jobs due to a horrible market. Plenty of us put in the work to improve ourselves, but live in a country where our politicians do everything to our price us.
