Default Let the good times roll - 67,000 McJobs to go
I might go into the burger-flipping trade. Better long term executive prospects than a techie.

Yeah. Well around here the only folks with McJobs are the one's who don't have McGreenCards.

So..."an unstimulating low-paid job with few prospects" seems pretty relevant.

Never underestimate the power of dictionary defs, esp. in internet debates.

Since when is mcD considered to be a restaurant?

Funny thing, it's them (among other similar joints) that keep the minimum wage for kitchen staff as low as it is. They don't care that the overall quality goes down and that hardly anyone still wants a job as a cook. Let's face it, working for them is not exactly rocket science.

Well, I think it just teaches a lot of people basic responsibility.

Everyone I knew in high school that work that went onto a decent college had first jobs that were above minimum wage and something that looked a bit better on a college application.
