Jeremy, I don't see you having a career in concessions at a movie house. But money is money and if you look at it just as a transitional job you are doing only for the money, then you may slog your way through. Of course it will never satisfy you, but if you are worried about keeping it for a while for the money, make friends with the co-workers and ask how they do it is my advice.
