When applying for a job at McDonalds, is it best to not include your college degree?

I am desperate and I am tired of hanging around the house all day. I want to save money and eventually pay down my debt and start paying off my student loan. I am going to apply for a job at McDonalds because I need something to do. Should I leave off my college degree on the application?When applying for a job at McDonalds, is it best to not include your college degree?
if you're applying for a manager's position then include the degree, but if you're just going to be a line worker then don't because they won't hire you. (heck, if you have serious work experience they won't hire you even if you leave off the degree because their answer to me was "you're just going to leave in a few months when you find something more suited to you)



if you're looking for something to tide you over between jobs during a job search then consider temp work. there are all kinds of temp agencies that provide workers for all kinds of work. The larger the metropolitan area you live in the more types of temp work will be available to you. there might even be a temp agency that specializes in your area of expertise.



also I would suggest you look into waiting tables or pizza delivery driver. They won't hold the degree against you and you'll make a bit more money than you would working for McDonald's.



also on the off chance your job hunt runs into the new school year in the fall, check your local school district for their requirements for substitute teaching. if you have a bachelor's degree then you're golden to them.



and don't stop looking for work in your field if you land one of these jobs. even consider saving up to move out of your area into another place where you may have an easier time getting into your field.

Yes, I would probably leave off the fact that you have a degree.



Otherwise, they might either wonder what is wrong with you that you can not get a more professional position or they may think it wouldn't be worth their time to train you, assuming you will still be looking for a better job and will quit as soon as you get one.When applying for a job at McDonalds, is it best to not include your college degree?
they have management jobs at McDonalds
yes use that degree to your advantage.
