Flipping burgers can be a damn good pathway to an executive position in the fast food industry, as long as you actually put the effort into it. Turnover is high in the fast food industry, so promotions are rapid. College graduates who stick it out are frequently offered full-ride scholarships to business school on the company's dime, with managerial and executive-level positions (in either cases paying >$100,000) afterwards. From a career perspective, starting your career by flipping burgers at McDonalds can yield greater dividends (in the long-term) than being a programmer.
