I worked in fast food for seven years. I was making $70k a year at the damn phone company, and still worked fast food at the phone company. Because it was fun - and a great way to meet chicks. In fact, that's exactly how I met my wife.
Americans seem to think that they are due something because they are Americans. Everyone starts at the bottom. And when you get knocked off your horse, you start back at the bottom.

That's true.
One thing people should realize though when they shout out "Go Work at McDonald's" is
that there is not always a job at McDonalds. They have way more applicants than
they will ever need.
When I was a teen, It took me almost a year to finally get hired at McDonald's and
it was at one that was on the other side of town. And I got the job because I had
the "inside scoop". The manager was a former classmate of my older brother!
McD's doesn't "give away jobs", people have to get in line and hope the get hired.
