Is it wrong that I don't have a job?

I am in my final year of undergraduate education, thinking about going to grad school next. I have my own "small" business where I clean and organize for people once or twice a month. I don't have a lot of other income, and I manage to pay 90% of my bills on my own, but my boyfriend and grandparents help me with the rest. Should I get a "real" part time job where I make twice as less as I do on my own? Or am I ok free-floating until I can establish a career after graduation?

    Employers look for job experience too. Having a degree will not get you the job it only makes you qualified for the job, but if you ever bothered to look at job ads you will see that employers expect a certain amount of experience in the job field that you want a career in. It's unrealistic to expect to get hired fresh out of grad school just because you have a degree. If your degree is buisiness you will do fine though

    Education first. You can always come up with a deal that you pay some of the money back to your loved ones. You are paying 90 % on your own, after all! Would be different if you didn't do anything.

    You're still in school. No one expects a person still in school to have a "real" job. The sorts of part-time jobs college students have aren't any more "real" jobs than what you are doing.

    Are you seriously asking whether you ought to take a cut in income in order to say that you have a "real" job? Please.
