  • I own a small business and have had great luck hiring people from small liberal arts colleges with degrees like philosophy, history, humanities, etc. These folks are smart and with the right training can do anything. Even better if they have worked fast food in the past (weird, right?). MBA graduates are expensive but require the same training and support - so I personally won’t hire from that pool. Although I have an MBA because it was a box I had to check for a previous role. I got the cheapest one possible and have no regrets.

    I got school credit working at McDonalds. You learn all sorts of stuff, like how to show up on time (something I was shocked I would have to later teach people as a manager) and I personally learned the phrase “you got time to lean, you got time to clean” (which I use to this day to irritate my children). Obviously, no child should be put into a dangerous job, but you do lean some things by actually experiencing the work environment. And construction is a legit, respectable job/career that (if done right/safely) a teen could learn a lot from.
