I'm now in my 30s and will probably work shitty jobs like fast food or retail until I die, which with any luck, won't be too long after I turn 40.

Get an education and get a real job.

You say that you want this now? How will you feel about this when you're 50 you reckon? I work a shitkicker job and there's nothing fun about it. My colleagues suck, I barely have any money left over for fun let alone savings after rent, my old school friends all have real jobs and don't want to hang with a loser like me, I feel bad about myself almost all the time and worst of all I never feel relaxed.

Carefully consider the consequences.

Honestly, I think there's nothing wrong whatsoever with wanting to work a menial job. I honestly believe that this is a valid choice. We need people to work menial jobs. Minimum wage laws were established as a way to make sure that people could live modestly and support a small family if they worked full-time, no matter what job they had. It was based on the idea that all work is dignified, not only management or high-position work. But in the ensuing decades, the cost of living has grown so much and actual minimum wage hasn't, so.

But we live in a culture that judges people based on what job they do and how much money they make, and working at McDo does not grant you a livable wage. And they know it, too; a couple of years ago, the company published a budgeting guide to help their employees get by on the salary they offer, and they straight up admitted that it was impossible unless they worked a second job.

So you'll be judged for it. And you'll be told it's your fault, too, as though there were enough high-paying jobs for everyone and you, too, could get one if you only chose to.

So ok anon. Working at McDo for your whole life is going to make your life really fucking hard. The decision you're making is morally and ethically perfectly sound, but it's going to make things very hard for you because of bullshit economic and cultural reasons.

Some people make a career out of Mc Donald's. It's hard work, I suppose, I've never done it. But I have heard of people working there their while life, working up to be a manager or something. Maybe one day you can open your own Mc Donald's store. You can always get a year 12 qualification later.

this. do your best to stay healthy too, and cross your fingers and hope you never develop any health problems either. disabled people usually end up working shit jobs.

Fantastic post.

He said "year 12" which I think means he lives in the UK. So he'll be paid roughly 20% more, which should be liveable. The local council might also pay his rent.

Still seems like a really boring life though.

Get a serving job at least that brings home 100 a night cash.

If your job is your only source of excitement, maybe. But there are plenty of ways to have fun outside of work hours.

Yea
managers make a decent amount in fast food and retail.
