I don't think there really is a good job that's easy to get, not without what you may need to sacrifice.

And I'm talking, whether you're okay with living out your comfort zone. Long commutes, potentially living in hotels or cities that have nothing but a Dollar Tree and chain-plaza stores that have nothing else going for them.

Those are things one has to factor in.

the way to have a good job is to have 10 years of experience in something.

pretty much every job is the worst when you are starting out. the issue wiht many younger people is they want a fast-track to top 10% salaries and unless you're a nepo baby or have some rare talent, that just isn't happening for the average person.

most people don't have job security or good pay until they are in their late 30s/40s, when you have a ton of specialized knowledge and hands on experience.

living out your comfort zone

Did you mean 'living outside your comfort zone'? This is somewhat opposite.
