McDonald's demands a bachelor's degree http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ors-degree-years-experience-cashiers-job.html so people are game to work for them
this is truly a sign of the times tho, in all seriousness college grads ARE competing with everyone else for jobs that they probably wouldn't take 10 years ago this is happening with the police departments too the good paying jobs that only required a HS diploma are a dying breed it's sad tho because there will always be a significant pool of people without XYZ-level of education right now the bachelors is becoming a standard...pretty soon it'll be something else because too many people will have 4-year degrees
btw if these dickbags wanna demand a bachelors..they need to step their game up and raise their fucking wages and include benefits
since you mentioned that....read the article http://www.denverpost.com/rawnews/ci_22946371/nyc-fast-food-workers-plan-2nd-job-action
To be a cashier, you have to just learn to smile and use the cash register machine. Why would you need anyone with a bachelor's for that? Hell, even those in the HRT department are thinking, "What sort of meds are you on, boss? If you're going to demand a bachelors, then I'd expect the following: Higher pay, preferably $20/hr. Month long vacation pay Furlough days Sick pay A damned good health and dental plan Free Big Mac w/ large fries and large drink meal per day Pay off 50-80% of my student debt All this can be done and then you'd see me bullshit my way through even the stinkiest, nastiest motherfuckers in this knee-deep shit fast food joint."
hark! it said 'BA' that's legit then....i mean come on...arts degree..that seems pretty fitting for a mcdonald's job in this economy
maybe he posted it knowing it was a typo..but did it because it caused such a stir i didn't read the article..i just seen the thread title and skimmed the headline from that dailymail site and was like damn this economy really did take a shit
actually it is a............. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/business/2013/04/mcdonalds-requires-ba-degree-not/
It's the good old market economy, always functioning for the greater good, efficiently allocating goods and services. There aren't even that many people relative to the overall population that possess college degrees, they're simply exploiting people's poverty and the almighty market's failure to provide enough jobs among the various segments of the population. They're demanding education that isn't even required to perform the job, simply because they can.
pretty much why dismantle a segment further by raising the requirements for a job which that group relied on as weird as it sounds, people do 'make a living' working in fast food, retail, etc, etc...basically doing jobs that don't really call for degrees and advanced education muscling them out by hiring degree-holding, over-qualified candidates is like a moral wrong
Relax fam that shit is bogus I guage how bad the local economy by how many young pretty white girls I see doing the job. Back in 2010 I saw pretty, I mean really good looking, blonde haired girls doing the maintenance at UCONN. That shit let me know what was really up but recently I've been seeing the usual recent Hispanic immigrants doing those jobs. Thats my litmus test and its pretty accurate thus far.
