I have worked as a cashier and my husband has worked in fast food even though we both had college degrees. Something that might have helped us is that we worked in the cafeteria while in college and we both were student supervisors. We both also worked at McDonalds in high school and had excellent recommendations.

I’ve since left my cashier position and moved on, but my husband still works fast food and it’s been 5 years since he graduated from college. We choose to live in an area that doesn’t have jobs for his degree so he’s worked there just to pay some bills. Right now, though, he’s working on getting his business to the point where he can finally quit.
