To get a low-wage job I had to lie on my resume. Retail stores won't hire you if you put down you have a CS degree and a few years programming experience. They want long-term desperate people. I was desperate but it looked too much like I would bail first chance I get.
Why would I want a shitty job? Well I needed money and I never break the 1st and 2nd rule of my club: http://www.indiedeveloperclub.com
