    I think you need to be some place/job that challenges you and mcdonalds will never do that for you and it will only make you upset with yourself and your life by continuing there. I agree with others who said find a new job while waiting it out at the fast food job then quit mcdonalds( hopefully only 2 weeks more not longer). Spring is now.. summer soon and your area must have tourist events and need help even big resorts or hotels that need help? Could you make a daycare out of your home and sit friends neighbor kids for a good fee? what about outdoor work since warmer now like gardening landscaping jobs or park jobs? Wish you luck on whatever you decide.

    Shit. Just. Got. REAL.

    Anyway, my loyalty lies with PP, so she's automatically right in any argument regardless of anything else.

So far it has gotten me nowhere coz withoyt the experience in HR to back it up-its worthless
    My wife is turning 50 next month, and graduating in December from Texas A&M. She nearly had her Bachelors 30 years ago and quit for kids/job/etc... they allowed 12 of her credits when she returned to school.

    Yikes. That isn't very much. I took a single test for $80 that gave me 16 credits earlier this semester. Saved me I don't know how many thousands of dollars.

    KingZ, please stop pretending you know things about me. I appreciate you not saying them out loud at least.

    PP I'm not crying about it. I'm holding my head up, working hard, doing a s**t job because I would rather do that then sit at home bored to tears. My bf has a good job here and hes working his way up to investing in his uncles business. There are many reasons we choose to stay here. And I know if I just keep looking, something better will come up.

    The job market here is not hopeless, it just takes time, consistency and patience.

    Don't get angry about it. It's just a discussion on the internet and I seem to have a completely different opinion than you. Wow, what a tragedy It's my right to say what I think of some things. Yeah that is me, and pretty many people I know. Among them people who also didn't want to leave, but leaving was the reasonable decision. Clearly many people still believe that a companionship can be cooked on a pan and served with a glass of water.

    OK, so: chinagirl has joined in with the caps lock and consecutive exclamation points, PP is now defending her stance as a point of honor, michelle23 is no closer to fixing her career, searock is supplementing her case of Wrong with a side dish of Mad, and HIA is drunk at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

    What a delightful little thread!

    I'm not even close to being angry. You're just annoying and no one really cares about your plans with your BF. Go on and live in wherever country you want, that's your choice but STOP pushing the envelop on someone who does not want the same and could care less about it.

    I don't even know why I'm wasting my time with you. Im just bored to death and frustrated to be stuck in my office when I could be outside enjoying the beautiful weather.

    And by the way, I'd rather work in McDonalds rather than leave my kids and work in another country for more money. But then, lucky me, I have a good paying JOB and a lawyer BF with a very good and busy practice that we don't need to scour the world for better job opportunity and money. Oh well, such as life...

    Michelle, this is not meant for you, it's meant for the kid who doesn't seem to get in her thick head that not everybody thinks like her...

    Agree with chinagirl. PP seems to be very proud about leaving Poland. Then again Ireland is somewhat higher paying country than Poland(minimum wage is about 3 times higher) so theres no need to leave it.

    PP isn't a bitch, she's a qtπ!

    If I was Polish, I'd be proud of leaving Poland, too. They're like the European Mexicans.
