I'm having 4 years of experience, changed 3 companies. But, I have seen my onsite team people who started as Functional Analyst and become product manager and working for 13 years in same company.
I have 28 years on the same job. In the same chair. And the same card punch machine. We did upgrade to 9-track tape recently, though. I might be kidding about that part.
A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi
Free food...Second half of my career at BK, they got all cheapo of us and made it half price!
Today I miss the smell of grease in my hair 24-7. Maybe not!
Reason for my 3 jobs 1. contract - expired (company bought out by another, cut all contracts) 2. contract - lost (new company picked up contract said no raises for 3. next few years) 3. current job - (going insane)

It certainly helped me. While at school I was pretty lazy, but while doing a weekend/evening job in BK I thought to myself "If I screw up my exams and don't get to university then I'll be doing jobs like this for the rest of my career". It was a good motivational exercise, and I worked a lot harder because of it!

Eurgh, that was the worst bit. I hated coming home from a shift in the kitchen to find that even a scalding hot bath and some normal food couldn't get rid of the smell, feel and taste of grease. I still dislike going to burger places like that, just stepping through the door and inhaling that awful smell again makes me lose my appetite. [ December 18, 2006: Message edited by: Dave Lenton ]

now I know where I went astray... There were no Burger Kings when I was that age (indeed the first McD only opened when I was well on my way to graduation and that one appeared years before the first BK). Can I sue BK for not giving me a chance to gain life experience and motivation as a student for the reason of them not having a franchise where I lived?

I bet its a bit different now. There seems to be a McDonalds, Pizza Hut, BK, etc just about everywhere. It wouldn't surprise me if there's one in the Antarctic. I even saw a programme on the telly a while back showing an American school which had a Pizza Hut inside it instead of a kitchen!
What next? A McDonalds franchise at the back of the plane? BK in the local library?
