Who really lives thinking the world works like this? very sad.
It's sadly very accurate. We have created an economy where it is in the employer's best interest to actively prevent their employees from advancing themselves. The most obvious manifestation of this is the disappearance of on-the-job training and the proliferation of non-compete agreements into the service industry.
She should have stopped at child #1. Why does she have 4 kids if she cannot support them? She's not financially able to have so many children. Look at her situation.
McDonald's is either a minimum wage job designed for teenagers going to high school or as a jump off point if someone wants to grow up and advance inside McDonald's. Fast food jobs were not designed to support families and be a life-long career. It is what it is.
Fast food jobs/min wage jobs traditionally were the "first jobs" for high school kids who lived at home and needed money for clothes, movies, saving for something, whatever. I don't know anyone who lived on their own for that wage except one friend who had no choice, and believe me, she was scraping and had nothing left over for anything fun or extra. It was hard. She found a great job with the state and worked up with the state and now makes a damn good salary 30 years later. She was a hard worker who had to work hard and have a work ethic to support herself.
I've always noticed that people who were struggling but had no choice but to live on their own (maybe with a child too), and were working for minimum wage, busted their butts to work up into assistant manager, then manager, for the extra money. Some weren't good managers, but they had to do it because they needed the money for food and rent.
Most corporations (like McDonald's, Taco Bell, etc) have solid plans for their employees to work up into management. They don't try to stop people from working up.
"Welfare," in the traditional sense, at least in my state, is capped at three years I do believe. Grants and loans also are capped. There isn't an infinite fountain of money just because someone is in school.
I mentioned welfare because that would mean that the individual is eligible for the maximum amount of federal aid (and possibly maximum state aid).
Pell Grant is capped at $33,300 over a six year period.
The maximum federal direct loan Is $57,500.
As an example, I'll give my state's limits. These will obviously vary by state.
Maximum state grant is $71,748 over six years.
If you cannot finish college in six years, then you should not be attending.

It's not accurate at all, delusional maybe but not accurate

True but how many managers will they have? Not everyone there will be promoted to be manager and they may not even promote from within they may hire someone not working there currently. Also not everyone has the ability to be a manager they may not have the people skills, the ability to handle being over someone else, the business part of the job.

Corporations like McDonalds focus on hiring people that can grow with the company and move into management. They don't hire anyone who applies. And the folks they do hire are paid well. Interns get $20/hr.
Sure, there's always going to be people leaving the company and others joining from outside. But the emphasis at McDonalds is grow within. There's a great documentary on them by CNBC.

That is great but you did not answer my question how many people from one location can be manager?
