McDonald's demands a bachelor's degree and two years' experience - just to be a cashiers (unemployed, fast food)

[All American NYC]

It used to be high school drop outs flipping burgers at McDonald's, now the fast-food joint is demanding a bachelors degree.
In a frightening example of how competitive the job market is for young people right now, a McDonald's outpost in Winchedon, Massachusetts, has just posted a call-out for a full time cashier - but insists only college graduates need apply.

Good luck paying off those student loans.

Welcome to the era of the worthless degreee

Stop whining about what employers want (and can actually get) and actually make the personal effort to qualify yourself for a job. I swear this forum is filled with unemployed lazy bums who love to whine about how the world is but who can't be bothered to get off their butts and do what is necessary.

Yeah really; around here you don't even need to be able to speak English to work in fast food.

I prefer having my food prepared and order taken by someone of accredited intelligence.
