Our current generation of irrisponsible and uber sensitive college kids should learn the lessons that this student learned. In fact, Obama and Hillary could learn something from this kid. Of course if Obama had worked at McDonalds before becoming president he might have been a much better president.
You can learn to network and play politics on the job which will give you a FAR Greater advantage at promotions in the workplace than College will these days sadly. College will give you knowledge and education but won't get you hired or promoted or even INTERVIEWED. 9 times out of 10 you have to network your way even into a job interview
Networking/Politics are more viable skills today in the workplace than education, value, skills, knowledge etc.
I think I could have a Ph.D and still struggle to establish a large pool of job opportunities without knowing people/networking that could hook me up with a job.
Its a much different world today. The things that SHOULD matter comes last on the list when it comes to get hired. You're better off spending your time networking/buttkissing etc. Than you ar(e thinking gaining valuable skills will get your promoted or hired today.
For the most part, I don't even believe hiring managers/employers even care about the value you bring. They want drinking/Golfing buddies. Someone they can hang out with
It appears the *I've been wronged time and time again and only butt kissers get ahead club* from the Work and Employment forum is alive and well.
Like I've posted many times before - if a group of you feel you've been passed by at every job, maybe it's you, because most managers can see through the butt kissers and would never promote them.
Maybe the Republicans can run a McDonalds employee for president in 2020 - - a real outsider who has the real world experiences that those in ivory towers don't have.
Yes, that would be an improvement over Obama. Good idea.
The only thing you learn at McDonalds is the importance of getting a decent education. It's the first job for a person interested in a life of menial labour, no matter how young and smart they think they are.
I support this sort of training but it's not a replacement for a good education. I'm not sure where Obama is relevant here.
He is relevant because he has never had a real job. So he knows nothing about the real world.
