[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I often wonder if any of the people that say “flipping burgers” is easy work, have every worked any kind of food service or retail. It’s horrible thankless work. Count yourself lucky that you acquired the skills to move on or avoid it. Some people don’t, and that’s not their fault.  They deserve to live off their work too, if they’re working full time.

You don't need any prior skills to get a McJob.  You just need to be 14 years old with working papers (certificate to work for a minor).  [u]They are good jobs for kids, and aren't meant to be a career.  [/u]

It's not that they're "easy" jobs, its that they're entry level jobs that you use to build skills to get other jobs. You learn to show up on time, put in your hours, build customer service skills, all things that are applicable to other careers.  If you look at the demographics who who actually is earning minimum wage in these positions, they're still mostly younger people who live at home.[/quote]
