You nailed it. McDonald’s isn’t looking to hire 55-year-olds with college degrees.

Honestly, I’m appalled at the number of Freepers who think that getting even an entry-level, low wage job is a breeze in this wretched economy. Entry-level means entry-level — they don’t want you if you’re too old or have too much education or experience.

The only answer for a lot of experienced folks will be to try to start their own businesses.

I find that a lot of people on here just talk out of their ass in regards to the unemployed. If you’re not in the position to locate a job, you don’t really have a clue as to what is going on. I’m in Florida and i’ve applied for positions out of state. I’m willing to move and I had one recruiter tell me they almost didn’t consider me because they didn’t think I would relocate.

In Texas they are...or at least their burger competitors are. It might not be the best paying job, but it's a job. A friend has worked his way up to full time manager and isn't complaining.
