This contra-UBI argument is often made, but I find it a bit short-sighted. Instead of having "survival" or "career" as a overarching goal in life, (some) people will have to find their own purpose in life. It's a bigger challenge but I believe in human adaptability. The question is how painful it will be initially and how long it will take for people to settle in this new mindset.

This is essentially my viewpoint as well. To mitigate the effects during the transition period I imagine some kind of social service in place where people can spend a lot of time learning to adapt to this new lifestyle.
