No, so they can bring in some kind of income even it takes working two jobs. I also said temporary, not permanent. Unless it's a company they want to work for and make a career out of. Making fries forever and not moving up or doing anything else equals no ambition. No ambition means no ambition to do NOTHING else but that.

There are jobs out there. Some people just don't want to "lower" themselves to do them.

Aaawwww sweetie, it ain't that I don't want to "lower" myself to do these magical jobs, it's just that these "lower" jobs aren't allowing me to come in the door to them!
