A monotonous, tedious job 1 No? Then, why are thousands of educated young people spending hours each day folding jumpers, grilling burgers, serving cappuccinos and unpacking boxes of books? Katie Underwood, a twenty-three-year-old university student, has had around twenty jobs just like this. She has worked night shifts, has been told she can't have a break or a day off 2. Fast food adverts and movies may make us think that these jobs are held by pink-cheeked, trendy teens 3, but in actual fact, most people in these jobs are in their late teens and twenties. Like Katie, these youngsters are juggling these part-time jobs and university classes 4. So, how sorry for yourself should you feel if you have to take a McJob? Well, perhaps you're actually one of the lucky ones! First of all, some well-known former McDonald's workers include Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com and Carl Lewis, Olympic gold medallist, and according to a recent article, around 20 of the 50 top worldwide managers began by grilling burgers!

Learning how to get to work on time, operate a machine, count change, serve customers politely, co-operate with fellow workers and accept orders from a boss are skills 5. So, a McJob might be boring, tiring and badly-paid, 6. Undoubtedly, it will also make you appreciate just how lucky you are when you finally get your dream job!
