1) Hamburger flipping (HF) is not the same as taco making (TM);ie taco bell. If was to be mean, I would say HF is a watered-down version of TM combined with some watered-down courses in salsa. These types of positions were in demand when High School graduates couldn't be relied upon to string together a coherent sentence in front of a crowd or relate well with others outside his immediate group of peers (read: teens). This has changed.
We, of HF, no longer need you, the TMers. Queer Eye for the Straight Guy has healed our wardrobe, and our acne has vanished all on its own. Your lack of depth in your HF education will soon - if not already - be revealed, and our consolidation over your domain will begin. We, of HF, have become self-sufficient. Pack your bags.
2) Fast food (FF) is not the same as home baked (HB). FF isn't even a degree. FF students are guys who learned how to design and make a milkshake and added some courses in whip cream, peanuts and cherries to try and round out the equation. That's what, 16 credits tops? What the hell did you do in your 2nd, 3rd and 4th year of studies besides eat your own work?
3) Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) is respectable. KFC majors generally design and maintain information systems for digestion. This is not strictly FF territory, so we grant you some level of association with us. We do however request your support in pitching our next-gen take out systems so the world can be rid of HB once and for all.
4) Fried is not the same as cooked. We of FF have no real qualms with our distant cousins, the stay at home moms. We would however like to remind you that a good FF degree nets you just as much as a good HB degree, and that cooking is completely different from frying. Not better, merely different. Keep yourselves grounded, HBers.
5) Your momma's sister's best friend's son with a barely average IQ who certified with a McD?s and Arbys+ is not making $60k+ a year, he's unemployed and living at home...again. The roast beef bubble came and went and relied upon a state of mass insanity. People have now regained their senses, and with them the realization that there is no need to pay someone mid to high five figures just because they can splice meat and boil water. Don't complain there are no jobs out there, this is a misnomer you are helping to spread. Just get some real marketable skills ? like tofu making.
6) Don't bother worrying over how to reply to, "Aren't you worried about your jobs going overseas?" They aren't our jobs, and noone wants to wait six weeks for a package of FF from India.
To elaborate: The extent of globalization is such that whatever can be exported overseas to be done cheaper will be exported, regardless of type of work. Manufacturing's already gone, low-level food support is being hit next.
