It's maddening, unwanted advice and people who get snotty when you don't take it!

I would find this type of advice to take any job, including entry-level menial jobs, to be really depressing. I can see why it affects your friendship. I would consider that sort of advice to be a dig at my abilities, my experience, my training. I know some people cannot see from another person's viewpoint, so it could just be your friend's viewpoint of his own career, but I would still be upset.
