  • Maybe in the US. Go to London and you’ll get some really good takeaway from Indian, Pakistani, West Indies, and many other nationalities that are so much better than Mc Donalds. Same goes for pretty much any place outside of the US. Walk into pretty much any bakery in France, Croatia, Lithuania, Finland or Poland and they’ll have better stuff.







  • A PhD can get a much higher paying (and likely less physically difficult) job than fast food.

    That maybe be true, but they may be trying a different career, or unable to find a job in their field because of oversaturation, or whatever other reason.

    The unspoken assumption when someone is “overqualified” is that they will take a better job if the opportunity presents itself.

    Isn’t that everybody though? If a cashier in fastfood got an opportunity to become a highly-paid streamer, they’d quit their fastfood job immediately too. But I do get your point: better credentials mean better job chances, mean greater likelihood of moving a job that’s paid better.
