you really think so?
for instance, I think getting a job at mcdonalds, while admirable and a good starting point, will not yield an opportunity for the majority of people. Even if you get promoted, you won't be making very much money and they basically expect you to quit.
sure its better than waiting for life to hand you everything but its not really an opportunity for most.

Certainly not for those with the sort of defeatist attitude you allude to above going in.
I assure you, an exceptional worker at McDonalds will be afforded many more opportunities than one who simply tells themselves it's a dead end job and does little more than show up every day.

That's why it is a no skill minimum wage job. No one is forcing you to work at McDonalds.
There are plenty other opportunities for careers other than McDonalds. Construction industry is booming right now. Learn to be a welder and you can make $40/hour. Become a carpenter's helper and you can start out at $15-20/hour.
Go work in a kitchen. Start out washing dishes. Everyone in a kitchen starts out washing dishes. Work your way up. Makes some money save it, then put yourself through culinary school.

there are some stunning stats about mcdonalds (and walmart, for that matter) hiring managers who started at low-levels with the company
