Friend of mine went to work at McDonalds during high school. By 22 he was a manager and making over 80k a year. It may be dead end, but that is more than enough to live on.

Yes I have heard this argument before when it comes to inner city youth and helping single mothers. It is always a sample of N, someone's friend of a friend. "Well so and so went to college and was able to not get into trouble, and raised 2 kids, and owns a house now, so I don't know why these other ones need help".
- clavalle 13y ago$80K as a manager at McDonalds? Wow. I really thought it would be around $45K, $55K tops.
- nahname 13y agoIt may actually have been closer to 100k. They have a pretty good bonus structure. I don't remember for certain though and know it was over 80.
