If you are capable of fulfilling the responsibilities assigned to you, and you do not know anyone more deserving than you who was deprived of a job due to your intercession, then it is permissible to accept intercession. However, it is not permissible to work in a job that necessitates falling into forbidden acts, such as intermingling with immodestly dressed women and shaving the beard. Unless you are compelled to do this work to earn a living, or if abandoning college entry would lead to a greater harm, then it is permissible for you to accept the intercession, in order to commit the lesser of two evils.
