I've got a ton of debt and decided to try Dave Ramsey's approach to getting out of it. I got a job at McDonald's and have worked two shifts there.

They've had me clean the grill for the last two days. I'm having the hardest time doing it, since there are all of these nooks and crannies you need to scrape out, and it takes muscles I haven't really used in a very long time since my primary job is office work.

Everybody else there, it's no big thing. They step in and know exactly what they're doing around a machine that can probably cook them if they're not careful. I'm being showed up with basic machine maintenance by people young enough to be my kids.

They're also able to stand for long periods without any obvious signs of distress. I, on the other hand, feel like my back is going to give out if my feet don't go first. (I bought shoe inserts for the feet, but they don't seem to be helping.)

Yes, I can push buttons to cook the meat, and I can flip the burgers over and today I even helped to assemble a few of the sandwiches. I'm just not very good at a lot of the little things. I don't know how long I am for the fast food business, but I do know that those kids put in a lot of work.
