Psh.. you know what? There's nothing wrong with working at a shell station, so I'm not sure why you guys are gloating so much. Like I said, it's good pay. It pays more than my piss ant animation internship did. (Twice the pay. I was at minimum wage.) And it certainly pays more than what she made at RMA, an equally shitty job, as far as I'm concerned, despite the fact that she got her jollies off of it.
My ass got laid off in december (merry fucking christmas), and I have no new employment prospects on the horizon, so seriously... I might be working in a gas station soon, myself. Granted, my art-fag heart will be breaking while I do it, because I won't be doing what I love, but at least I'll be able to make rent and not go into default on my student loans.
So, anyway... shell station. It's a fucking job. More admirable than being unemployed. At least you have a place to go to every day, and weekends (or whatever days you have off) actually mean something.
As far as I'm concerned, you could be homeless and collecting bottles and cans on the street, and that's still an honest day's work. (I might end up there in a few months, actually. If I don't end up dosing first.)

I'm glad she's not working with kids anymore. She's a mean person, and that's what makes her Full of Fail, not whatever job she does or doesn't have.
And as for karma... this is sandpoint. Maybe if she was working night shift at a no-name station in visitation valley, san francisco, that could definitely be considered karma... I'd say that having to work someplace where you have to be on a constant state of high alert because of the possibility you might get a fat glock pointed at your piehole at any minute would be a more poetic parallel to what her victims had to go through. ::unhappy::
Regardless, I don't really care what she's doing. Just as long as she's not hurting kids any more, that's all that matters.
It just rubs me the wrong way when a particular line of work is used to denote failure or karma. It's work. Be happy you're working.
