It depends on how you take it. I literally worked for almost 5 years at a gas station and graduated from a good college. Now I am working at a good company and i feel like those hard is finally paid off. Only thing you should remember that thats just your temporary and part time job and you should give education your first priority. People start making money working at gas station and then get addicted towards it and even think that they will own a gas station in future even if their education fails. So if someone has priority in their life these things doesn't matter in life. I think working at gas station is very supportive to most people around here in USA.
