McDonald's Hiring Ad: Bachelor's Degree + 2 Years Cashier Experience

washingtonexaminer.com...


No surprise here. College/Universities are pumping out hundreds of thousands of graduates per year and clearly not enough jobs to fulfil every persons field of expertise... In 2012, 284,000 college graduates had a job that paid minimum wage, according to a recent Wall Street Journal report.

So, why not hire the best-of-the-best unemployed workers?

Dude, what!?! Can't believe this. So difficult to wrap my head around.... Won't this just cause alot of problems nationally?

What a load of BS! (pun intended)

If things keep going this way, they might as well sign up all high school graduates onto welfare because they won't be able to get a job until the finish a few years of college for even a broom pusher position.

They're making sure everyone enters the workforce just the way they want them; saddled up with loads of debt they can never repay so they'll make better wage slaves for their masters.

Ahhhh. . . .

Hope and *here's your change*

So you need a batchelors degree to run a cash registrar at McDonalds? I don't know if thats a good thing or degrading to the graduate

Most likely a typo on the job posting website.

There is no such requirement here

EDIT: Maybe you have to register to see the requirement. This job site is apparently the source of the job posting that went viral

more for registered users ....

edit on 4-4-2013 by Zarniwoop because: (no reason given)

Won't happen, unless the requirements of the job demand it. Companies are always wanting to save money, so they will want to hire the least demanding employees.

A person with a degree is not the least demanding!

Wow - now I'm not even qualified to work at McDonalds, that's a kick in the balls.

Maybe I can get a paper route.

I really doubt it. They may even spit in it.

From my experiance, people with degrees who take jobs that they think are beneath them are the worst workers. They just don't care.

And often don't realize that everyone has to start at the bottom, even most of those born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

It won't demand it really; however, if someone has a degree and another person doesn't..
(same age, sex, etc etc) who will get the job?

Wow.
Just wow.

Though I don't blame them. If they can get the best. Then get the best.

Probably the one without the degree, as the one with the degree is a day-to-day flight risk.

What I find scary is how Americans will only see college and getting degrees as a way to get cheap paying jobs. I feel the American dream is dead because of how much money and support we put into businesses that would end up being the only options we had for work.

Wanted: New Stereotypical Position For Average High School Dropouts.

Requirements: Low Standards, Crappy Hours, and Minimum Wage With No Benefits and The Added Comfort of Local Uneducated Jerkoffs.

I feel the American dream is dead because it makes money look like the answer to life...and it really isn't.

I'm an individual who loves money. Money is currency and has the value to help you achieve your dreams and help you pay your bills, buy food, buy videos games, etc. We live in a civilized society where money plays a big parts in our lives. Many people do not understand the value of money and will not save properly. But in the end they'll end loosing everything because they haven't responsibly saved and used their money. That is my view on money.
