You're probably wondering what working at Mcdonald's has to do with any of my qualifications. The truth is that job probably did more to prepare me for life than even my first job out of college. Most high school students do a 3 month stint at Mcdonald's and get out of there the second they can. It is for all intents and purposes your real first job. When I attempted to quit in 3 months, my parents wouldn't let me. They told me I had to stick it out. The truth is I hated working at Mcdonald's. But, it was a tremendously valuable experience. When you see people who work there 40 hours a week, it makes you look at your own life and realize how good you really have it. The fact is some of those people are stuck and they come there just to make ends meet. If there's anything I learned from that experience is that you should treat the janitor with the same respect as the CEO. They both add value to your life, just in different ways.

"...for all intensive purposes..."? REALLY?
Dude, the expression is "for all intents and purposes."
