I worked in a McDonalds for six months. The money was rubbish, but that aside, I quite enjoyed it. There&#x27;s a sense of camraderie in that kind of job that you don&#x27;t get in more well paying jobs, it&#x27;s easy to be social with your co-workers, and actually, I kind of enjoyed making burgers.<p>None of those things make up for the giant differential in income, and predictability of hours though. And McDonalds does lack the occasional super interesting problem you get in IT - but day to day the actual job wasn&#x27;t a lot worse.
