Working at McDonald’s The Largest Fast-Food Chain In The World
Jobs in multinational food chains for students as
waiters or serving staff may help students as a financial source. Chains like
McDonalds are places where students work part time along with their studies.
The pays they get and the amount that they earn may serve as pocket money but
does not become a source of experience or future benefits. These jobs are just
going and coming back and serving people in these restaurants instead of
learning something and gaining something for the future. (Etzioni) The jobs at
multinational food chains can be seen as working like machines for the owners
which slaughters the creativity of these students. These jobs have proved to be
unhelpful and unbeneficial for these students working here for their future
ventures. A research shows that selling things created by your own self are
rather more beneficial for a youngster than working at these food chains.
Selling your own things can teach you business skills and
self maintenance.
