IMHO, that’s not a reason to stay on unemployment.
I agree, and I think it hurts you in the end. What employer thinks highly of someone that thumbs there nose at a leaser paying job when there is so little out there. You take what you can get and move on from there. I’ve seen kids in my area, one in particular that didn’t want to lower himself to work at BK. So instead he took to breaking into small businesses and robing them. And going into closed copper mines(can’t imagine the dangers in that one) to find copper. He ended up in jail for 6 months. Now no one wants to hire him, even BK.
