The fact that everyone uses McDonalds we are not all saying everyone should work at McDonalds, it is simply a way of saying, there are plenty of jobs out there regardless of skill level, education, language spoken, religion etc.
More people spend more time spitting out excuses why they DONT work, where if they used that time more efficiently they would have a job.
Now, your sarcasim was unwarranted as my post wasn't directed entirely at you, it was explaining the point of view, regarding 1 point you made. You don't know me, you don't know my education level or anything else. That means you are assuming and just trying to get into a pissing match with someone, good luck with that.

You may have read my post but you still have not understood it.
Most companies like McDonald's etc would not want to hire someone with a college education. Why? Because they will constantly be looking for something better, and will of course not be happy with their current job.
Of course no one wants to spend 20 years at McDonald's but the simple fact is you won't find a job you can spend 20 years at almost anywhere.
However if you are running a McDonald's you want to lower your already high turn over rate so you will hire those who fit the role of that job.
That's people who have a limited education and know there won't be much more out there for them.
When I left Taco Bell I was going to go back to school.
I went and applied at lower skill level jobs just to cover my expenses without having to commit so much time as I did when managing...I could not get hired at those lower skilled jobs.
The hiring manager, or human resource people always questioned why I was doing this, and no matter how many times I explained to them why they always had that look in their eyes as if to say..."something must be wrong with this guy."
I never went back to school...LOL I've pretty much been in business for myself since then and spend much more time working than I did when I was managing for Taco Bell...but of course I enjoy it much more.
