It’s true that entry level crew member jobs at Mcdonalds won’t make you a Rockefeller any time soon, but depending on your work experience and qualifications, you may be able to land either a corporate position or an assistant manager position.

The history of Mcdonalds tells us there’s plenty of opportunity to succeed and prosper quickly for people making a career switch because of the usual high turnover rate in this industry, which is mostly due to employing younger workers who have used the fast food business as a stepping stone, and to  bigger and better things.  This leaves plenty of room open for workers wanting career advancement; it’s common for a a hard-working person to join as a crew member, work as an assistant manager within six months to a year, then make it to restaurant manager within the next two years!

Also, because of the recent economic state, the turnover rates have dropped slightly, and, much to the surprise of many current employees, a sustained career at this fast food giant looks more appealing. 

The worst thing you can do at a time like this is overlook a career because you may feel it’s “beneath you” and to put things into perspective, know that there are many employees who have made the right career change who are making 40-90,000 dollars a year in salary at their McDonalds jobs while other people are biting their fingernails knowing their unemployment checks will soon run out.

Sometimes you have to take a step backward to take a huge step forward!
