I can't answer this for you because it's objectively very subjective, but if I were to give advise it would be to minimise regrets. Which option, if you didn't make it, would you regret more?

I'd also add that "menial" work can be really enjoyable... My favourite job ever was working in retail. On paper it was the most "menial" job I ever had, but it was also by far my favourite. If I could have a good quality of life working a job like that again, I do it in a heartbeat.

Finally, you don't know how things will play out. I had a "good job" early on in my career which I thought I'd never leave because I didn't think I'd find something better. Then I lost my job and within a year my life trajectory had completely changed, and for better. This change in trajectory was largely a direct result of me losing my job. You have no idea what opportunities might await you. If you're a smart person you'll find interesting things to do wherever you are.
