Have you seen the job market today? There are so many experienced people looking for jobs right now, and even more college grads with degrees that can't get work in their field of expertise. To enter the job market with an "i'm not taking any job lower than 40k a year" attitude with little job experience or a botched job history isn't going to get anyone very far. Having some type of income is better than nothing during times like this. Also, its more than just a paycheck at the end of the week. A person's job history says a lot to potential employers down the road.
Not saying you shouldnt explore your options, but every job has its benefits and drawbacks. You wouldnt get much from a supermarket right now, but after a couple years of employment they do take care of their employees. My girlfriend has been at a shoprite for 3 years and does pretty well with steady hours as a student. If I could do it all again I would have just worked at shoprite.
