Mazrim is right. One thing overlooked by some of these retail or fast food jobs is if you stick it out, you can get up to Assistant Manager or Manager positions which can mean alot on your resume later on when asked if you have "Management Experience".
I never did the fast food thing for very long as I was seemingly lucky to be hired into a job straight out of high school relevent to my education. Fast forward 10 years and now trying to get into more Management positions and being refused solely due to my lack of experience in Management. My sister though, worked at a retail place (completely out of the scope for her area of study) for 3 years became Manager of a store and easily moved into a management position after her post secondary because she had on her resume that she had the experience.
So don't overlook the mind-numbing retail and fast food jobs.
