* A job is what you make it and advancement is up to the individual who doesn't feel the world owes him a living.
"McDonalds trained one out of every 12 working Americans. McDonald's work experience teaches skills and values that last a lifetime. Employees gain skills that are required in many professional positions, including teamwork, customer service and leadership. As employees excel at McDonald's restaurants, they learn how to supervise others, communicate effectively and manage finances."
* Sure you start at a minimum wage but you are also PAID to have a chance to learn and advance. College students pay to learn job skills and then start looking for a job saddled in debt for a decade or longer.
* Flipping burgers is an ENTRY LEVEL JOB that gives a hard worker a chance. It's NOT a career.

A friend of mine is getting his degree. He finds the grocery business interesting and he is a bold type of guy. He goes and speaks to his local kroger GM. The GM gives him the name and number of the guy who recruits potential managers. He tells him now since you dont have experience, he may try to get you be a cashier. He said dont do that because you will be forgotten. No start there and you can work your way up. lol
This country thrived with a strong hard working middle. They dont want to be super stars or kings of the world. They want to do an honest days work for a honest days pay and go home to their family. Everyone cant be a star somebody has to be in the chorus.
and this is not an entitlement culture. You actually had more entitlements back in the day ,much cheaper college and if you got a degree pretty much the guarantee of a career. If you didnt have a degree, you could get a job that made you a living that you could take care of your family,you got a pension when you retired and if you didnt steal you had a job for life. Now they feed you the bullshit because someone has a iphone and wants a living wage(if you know your history min wage was once a living wage) The entitlement word is thrown around which is such bullshit, we actually live in a time with the least entitlement. lol
