Like it (the food or the company) or not it’s a viable career path. I’m a qualified Industrial Designer, did my Honours and all. Worked a year as a Design Draftsmen and still do freelance design work, including McDonalds as a client, and I still took this route.
People gotta eat, and I’ll never be out of a job when the industry ‘lulls’.
That being said, no one has to follow that career path, but it’s paycheck to paycheck til you find something better. Plus believe it or not, it does look good on resumes.
If there’s a select employment egency in melbs hit them up, they usually suss something fairly quickly… although steer clear of the banking sector, they’re starting to drop workers, and first in first out and all that.
Just get a bar job like everyone else. Apart from missing out on a whole lot of 21sts (which you’ll actually be thankfull for later on) it’s a pretty sweet gig - lots of free food and beer, plus you can often drink at work, and if you work at a music venue, free gigs as well.
i’m with chaz, get a bar job. with your charm and diverse background you’ll no doubt meet some lovely young ladies also. we all saw you on tuesday night mate…
