Shitty Job problems - make the job you hate work for you

So I have a friend who, like me, moved from home to seek a better life and opportunities.  He started his own, home-based business, and was doing alright for a while until the bills started piling up.  He got a shitty job that basically slaved him out and only paid minimum wage, so he quit.  Now he's considering moving back home because the money is running out.  He figures he can go back home, try his business there, work part-time, and save up to eventually move out again.  The problem is that he really doesn't want to go back home.  He loves it here.  And also he doesn't want to work a shitty job but feels that's his only option without a degree.

Being that I've worked many jobs, and many of them shitty jobs, I gave him some words of wisdom. I first asked him, "Would you rather work a shitty job here or back home"?  He didn't really have to think hard about that one.  It was clear he'd rather be here, so he chose to find a job here.  Now to tackle a "shitty" job versus a "decent" job.  Since he has no choice but to get a job, he would rather get something that wasn't so bad.  The problem is clear, and one that I've dealt with my whole professional life.  We are entrepreneurs with dreams and goals of owning our own businesses.  No matter what job we work, it will always be just another job.  So I told him, any job you get is just a job; something to pay the bills and possibly help you save up.

How can you make a job you hate work for you?
