Taking a job at a fast food restaurant is only a career move if you're motivated and and SMART ENOUGH to work your way up the latter.If you think that spending years flipping burgers and taking orders is a career move...that's your problem.
These folks DON'T GET IT:
Hundreds of fast food workers and supporters protested outside New York City restaurants Thursday to demand higher wages for their low-paying jobs, including about 60 at a midtown Wendy's who chanted: "Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Minimum wage has got to go!"
Linda Archer said she has worked at a nearby McDonald's for three years and makes $8 an hour. The protesters want fast food restaurants to pay $15 per hour, almost double the current statewide hourly average of $8.25. New York City has among the world's most expensive rents.
"I'm asking for respect, I'm asking for $15, I'm asking for a union, I'm asking for job security," she said.

DeFife released a statement saying, "The restaurant industry provides opportunities for millions of Americans, women and men from all backgrounds, to move up the ladder and succeed." (emphasis mine)Read the whole story HERE.
Flipping burgers will ONLY earn you what you deserve. WHY YOU ASK? Because there are plenty of people who'll take that ENTRY LEVEL job at the salary you're protesting about.
