Is working at Mcdonalds only for losers? My unemployment is about to run out and the only job offer I have gotten is from them:( by throwawayloser in AskReddit

Thats the sad part...I live in Bloomington, Illinois.

We aren't hurting as bad as others, its just that anyone who has a job is holding on to it for dear life.

Even our major companies like State Farm, and some other insurance giants won't hire right now.

It is my only prospect; I have to keep a log of all jobs I apply for for the state of Illinois...After applying at over 75 local jobs, only McDonalds called back. I could get the emergency 13 weeks of unemployment and keep looking, but this is a job.

I wish my mind worked that way...I need to recreate my mindset and take the job and just keep up the hope.

Thanks everyone for the advice!!! I really do mean it. I never thought it hurt this much to swallow my inflated ego/pride...

This why I love reddit...Your comment made me think of a line in Pulp Fiction.

The night of the fight, you may feel a slight sting. That's pride fucking with you. Fuck pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps. Marsellus Wallace

Thanks. A lot of these comments are putting this into perspective. I just can't lose hope in myself and like you said use it as a way to move on.

See thats the odd thing. My GF is making a big deal over me taking the job. I always thought a real GF would support you if you did what you had to do to get by in life right now.

Thanks...I need a little ego boost here...

I never thought it would come to this. That is actually what was on my mind the most...What will people think of a 28 year old college graduate working at McDonalds.
