[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 683162, member: 1550"] Rox, no job is a piece of cake. If one is unskilled, the person can only apply to things like fast food where you wont be treated with much respect by anyone. When my daughter started her good life from her methodone life, she had no money, no car and was living in the basement in a brand new state with her evangelical conservative christian brother who is so strict that most christians, in his mind, are not really REAL chrisians. Tou smoke a cigarette in his house or even cuss and you are out the door. Daughter had to follow all of his tyranical demands or be homeless as he was the only one willing to take her in but she could not breech any rules. She did not want to be honeless so she quit all drugs, even cigarettes, and met his demand to work even though she had no car. In the cold Chicago weather she walked over a mile to and from a Subway. She did not complain, even though brother could have given her a ride. He wanted her to work hard for once. No favors. It is no fun to be a sandwich artist at Subway but she did such a good job, she was eventually promoted to store manager. She didnt like it,,,hours stunk and managering is stressful. She did it then, after her life had been changed by her own effort, she got a loan and went back to college. She attained her dream of being a minorly renowned pastry chef and got to go to Austria with her class. The school hired her and even let her teach two pastry classes. Her and clean boyfriend bought a house. They are great parents to my adorable but challenging granddaughter now. Drugs are about twelve years in the past. My point is, if you are uneducated, you start out with dirt jobs. This is reality. If you dont keep those jobs and do your best, you will always have dirt jobs. When you drop out of high school, or even refuse to go to further education after high school, most doors shut in your face so you use these lowly jobs to better yourself....or you never better yourself. Arbys is probably no treat, although I have an acquaintance who loves the same job. But I feel failure to launch kids are lucky fast food will hire them and should not quit just because manager may seem mean. He may be, he may not be. This is true of any biss you get. I know my daughter was proud of her meager pay checks from Subway. Subway started her climb out of the meth gutter. I am severly learning disabled and can not do many jobs, even easy ones. in my opinion, which none of you have to agree with, if you are impaired by disability or lack of education, be proud of your job and dont quit until you have a better job, even if you clean toilets. It beats the 'jobs" of freeloading or bring homeless. Take what you like here, if anything, and leave the rest and have a great night. [/QUOTE]
