I dont get it.  When I got out of school and couldnt find a career, I worked at the damn bookstore for $8.50 an hour until I found a well paying job.  It would have been more demeaning for me NOT to work, than to work for barely over minimum wage.  

One thing that can happen, with individuals who say have an advanced degree, is they go to work at a convenience store or book store, the person whio sees them with their degree will feel they are overqualified, and not hire them.  Things like that do happen.  It is life.
