Hey all, quick question. Is it weird to be an almost 30 year old guy working in a grocery store?
I've been in a retail helpdesk position for the past two years after getting an IT degree, and I have reason to suspect the head manager is looking to fire me. The job itself is fun and my coworkers are great but I don't get any kind of benefits or anything other than my pay, around $15/hr. I haven't had a vacation or even a weekend since I started. I've been applying for other tech related jobs but they're few and far between and I'm not a wealthy dude so I can't just move across the country.
A local grocery store just opened up a prepared foods position and they're paying around $11/hr, but also offers three weeks paid vacation, 100% health/vision/dental insurance, life insurance, a 401k, discounts on food, free gym membership, and either an unlimited bus pass or a free bike depending on how you want to commute (there's no employee parking).
I guess my question is, is a job like that embarrassing or is it okay? I know my family would pull the "we didn't send you to college so you could wash dishes and have people wait on you hand and foot" but those seem like some pretty decent perks. Thoughts?

When I worked at a grocery store, I had a customer who had given up a really good job to work at McDonalds because it was so much less stress and better hours than his old job.
