What should I do in my life? (75)

Yes it was one month, but like OP, it was my first job, and hence I used it as an example to illustrate worse first jobs he could be doing. There's another guy in /Personal/ who would kill for a job like OP's. The last I heard of him, he was trying to get a job as a garbage collector.

The reason I started working there was because I needed money to buy a car so that I could travel to uni, which is quite far from where I live. I stopped because uni was fulltime, and I'd managed to scrape together enough cash to get the car. I'm not trying to sound morally superior, or a saint; I hated working there. But the fact was that I needed the money, and in a similar situation to Ryuuchi, in order to reach bigger goal, I persevered. Beggars can't be choosers you know. Especially now, with this economic downturn and whatnot, I don't think he should be skipping out on available work just on a whim. And think of how that would look on his resume. Worked in McDonalds for several days. He definitely won't be getting a recommendation from his boss.

Ryuuchi, I'm not saying you can't look for a better job on the side, but have you ever heard of a backup plan? Or security? Have you thought about the consequences of your actions? Who it's going to affect, and how what effect it has on your immediate future? Even if we disregard what you might owe to your friend for the moment, you're not being very responsible to your own job prospects.
