I understand that most vacancies in fast food are in the kitchen from what people I know have done. It might be the case that there are some jobs on the tills, but they seem the least common vacancies as I understand it.

Perhaps you should be REALLY radical and ask?

go to a temp agency (or 4) and they will tell you according to your skills, your temperment, your ability or disability, your location even.

From what I remember Phil, I understand you might one day might wish to meet a young lady, have a relationship and settle down? Often when people do that children come along.

When you are responsible for other people you would shovel !!!!!! to keep a roof over their head and food in their tummies. Yours would starve!!!

My husband has a degree and an MBA - I have neither. But when we put our "book smart" and "street smart" heads together we plough ahead to provide for ourselves and our children. The best thing we teach our kids is to have a positive attitude. We rank it as highly as reading, writing and maths, i.e. it is NOT optional!!!

My husband would also tell you the best stuff he learned was not at university. That came after his studies.

If I were an employer I would look for the grafter, irrespective of what they had done. I'd be looking for resilience, bounceback-ability, sheer determination and tenacity. I have met plenty of people with impressive degrees that are as thick as pig !!!!!!!

Phil, go sort out your attitude. You may get a First Class Honours but frankly my friend, without an attitude check it will merely be a piece of useless paper in your hand......

Please see my above post on how you can do 75% of the jobs at your local McDonalds.

If you want more help, then please either:

1. apply for McDs
2. be a man and fess up to the fact you just don't want to work there.

Oh and you won't be working 9-5 there - 11am until whenever was the most common shift as I recall, because managers open the store. Plenty of tume to hunt for a more fitting job in the mornings, with your money and pride jangling in your pockets.

What's the matter? Afraid that you'll be rejected even from McD's?

No, it may take longer than that. But how do you plan on surviving if you dont get a job? Any job at that?
