Truly the young adults involved in this scenario should have recognized the problem much earlier and simply refused to work in an environment below their standards.

This is one of those times when subjectivity becomes absolute; Though one may be mistaken, what one believes about a job or even a relationship determines acceptance of and contentment with circumstances. A fool may abandon a good job or relationship due to vanity or arrogance. Likewise, one may quixotically fantasize that one is noble due to their persistence in an actually inferior situation or relationship. Maybe the real trick is not playing the fool.
