While proponents of immigration reform say that we need to bring in workers from other countries to do jobs Americans won’t do, is this really true? And if Americans won’t accept low-level jobs, why not?
Paul Facella, who wrote the book Everything I Know About Business I Learned at McDonald’s said that McDonald’s – a company that many workers consider “beneath” them – has created more millionaires than any other American company, especially female and minority millionaires.
So Facella recommends taking a look at a lower level job and see if it might be of help to you later in your career. He pointed out some benefits you can get from working at a job lower on the prestige scale.
First, you’re free to ask all kinds of questions. If you are curious and inquisitve, you could learn more from questions than you would in an MBA class.
Develop your working style. Always work hard, and refuse to be satisfied with “good enough.” Those traits are important to an entrepreneur or an executive as well as a lobby cleaner.
Refining relationship skills like listening, solving conflicts and taking changes in stride are other important skills a lower-level job gives you an opportunity to practice.
