I got a good job with a good salary about 4 months or so after I graduated, but it certainly wasn't my ideal job at all

This. I actually was working at a decently paying job (for the time) in my field of study while going to college, and never stopped (it's been 16 years now...).

But I switched jobs a lot... some underpaid me, some treated me like crap, some didn't have interesting projects, at one place some dude physically threatened me until I quit, one place tried to make me work 100 hour weeks for no good reason...

Only a couple of years ago did I hit my "ideal" job. So it took well over a decade. But the way the question is framed and with the options given, it sounds more like "how long until you found a job in your field". That's a very different question.
