I'm hardworking, honest, and new...and I think being set up to look bad or worse. What should I do?
I'm having trouble getting a job in my field so I took a position for the summer I'm overqualified for. My coworkers are of different demographic/education level. Their behaviour is sometimes unreasonable and they behave as if I'm not trustworthy...by the way I must share a drawer with some of these people, I am not informed of it being in (or out) of balance. I feel as if my education, reputation and everything are being risked to make a few dollars (which are handy and making ends meet) but I could do with out..dipping into savings/retirement.
Am I paranoid?..no supervisor has spoken to me of a problem.
I only mention different demographic not because I'm focusing on differences..but because highschool/early college is different from late thirties. I don't do the drinking after work, I don't stand in the "gossip circle" that forms occasionally. It's not bad...just different interests.

If you are a new hire, your supervisor should have a 1x1 meeting with you to see how things are going. You can ask for feedback and guidance at any time then, or before hand if you suspect a set up. If you share a drawer and must balance, you are entitled to know the results - how else does one account or improve?
I do hear you about the qualifications and icky feelings re: other employees ... been there and it's not fun.
My solution: Take a job with a temp agency that will send you to many different assignments in your area. You'll get the same money without benefits, but there's less pressure from the existing staff because "you're just a temp" and not a threat to them - in fact, many look at temps as life savers because they come in during vacations and times of extra work to take the load off the regular staff.
Good luck in your search for meaningful and comfortable work.

If you feel that you are in a higher class than your associates it is probably reflected in you actions and easily picked up on. If they feel intimidated they will react negatively toward you. I suggest that you either try to fit in or move on before the situation becomes ugly.

No you are not paranoid. I really feel sorry for you. I cannot think of what would be best for you except to continue working until you find the job that is best suited for you.
Peace and blessings!
